You are overmedicating on the antacid drugs. And they don't come without risk.

You will now be open for deficiencies of B12, D, albumin, calcium, and iron, to name a few.

Also, you will not have as much good bacteria in your body due to no stomach acid. If you are immunosuppressed, your infection risk goes up as well.

If you don't digest your food well enough, you can get dumping into the small intestines of undigested food, which can lead to reactive hypoglycemia.

This can all lead to a leaky gut, which can lead to allergies and even more AIs.

I'm a total downer today! But you need to be aware of what this self-medicating can do.

Did you know that Mestinon increases acetylcholine, which increases stomach acid? So maybe you aren't technically someone with primary reflux/esophageal issues, but someone with secondary ones due to Mestinon.

Some things to think about.
