@drdavidmorris: Why Do So Many People Stay on Acid Reflux Meds for Years? Acid reflux medications are among the most commonly used treatments for digestive discomfort, but many people never stop to ask why the symptoms started in the first place. Digestive health involves much more than reducing discomfort. Stomach function, nutrient absorption, gut balance, and food breakdown all play important roles in overall wellness. If you're dealing with ongoing digestive concerns, it may be worth exploring both symptom management and potential root causes with a qualified healthcare professional. 💬What's the longest you've been on the same medication? #murfreesboro #functionalmedicine #magnoliamedicalcenter #rootcause #fyp #viral #acidreflux #guthealth #digestivehealth #healthtok #wellnesstok
I have a hiadyle hernia and was on Protonix twice a day for over 10 years. My gastroenterologist told me to not worry about it!? I lost a large amount of weight and no longer need it unless I eat before I go to bed or eat chocolate or spaghetti sauce.

15+ years ago an MD put me on Prilosec. I randomly started getting muscle cramps and at one point I had chest pain so bad I thought I was having a heart attack. I was in my early 30s and healthy. I did some digging online and found/came to the conclusion my magnesium was being depleted. I stopped immediately. Later they came out with a Prilosec w/ magnesium 😆. Sheesh

You're assuming 24/7 use of PPI - some ppl only use PPI for 1/2 the day. And have severe Barrett's Esophagus.

People need to figure out the root of their acid reflux. For me it was Red Bulls.. I had grown addicted to them and my stomach was horrible! I stopped drinking them and things got back to normal over time. That was 25 years ago and I haven’t had issues since 🤔

what if you are on cox2 inhibitor nsaids that affect the prostaglandins and mucosal membrane as well? especially if someone’s taking nsaids for autoimmune such as rheumatoid arthritis. it seems like vicious cycle.. 🥺
