I stopped taking PPI for about 1 month but 3 days ago I took one pill of 20mg PPI because I have some burning in my stomach
I have a breath test to do tomorrow so could this pill have an impact on the test ?
my doctor told me it's fine

I suppose you can go ahead and do it. try to get the raw data from the breath test. not just positive or negative. I think it's better to now how positive or negative your reading is. next time, take ranitidine rather than PPI. ranitidine will not affect breath test result.
