Default Long term use of Prilosec and other acid blockers

may cause PN through malabsorption of nutrients within the gastrointestinal tract. I took the stuff for 10 years and I'm paying the price now. Never once did the doctors warn me of the potential consequences of taking it long term.

I did notice on a recent Prilosec advertisement that they warned of the possibility of lowered magnesium levels while taking this drug so there is a greater awareness now. I have made gradual improvements the last couple of years since abstaining from this medicine and living a healhier life style. I rarely have heatburn anymore.

I just heard again yesterday on the radio that granite countertops cause out-gassing. I know HGTV pushes them as the preferred countertop these days.

*edit*
I'm sorry that I cannot give you the link to the full article, being a newb, but if you search Google for Stephen Ponder, you should find it OK

I found that I was quite anaemic, and even after taking tablets and using skin patches, I still needed injections of B12.
It was obvious that the neuropathy was getting worse even tho' I was observing all dietary rules, and moderately exercising. I'm waiting for the B12 injections to start working.

Default Anyone on any sort of--

H2 antagonist or proton pump inhibitor is well advised to do oral B12 supplementation, especially if older than 50 years.

B12, like most proteins and protein-bound nutrients, needs the action of stomach acid to be broken out of food and absorbed, and people on these acid-reducing meds for significant periods of time do risk deficiencies, especially if they already may be predisposed.

I am, at least, seeing references to possible B12 deficiencies in the warnings about these meds lately.

Amen Brother!

In addition to B12, folate also appears impacted by these drugs...... In the last year or so it has really come become clear to me how much the general public is unaware of these issues. It gives me some solice knowing that we can freely discuss these issues on an open forum. Hopefully more people will discover these topics and use them to their benefit by doing futher research like many of us have done within this community.

Lightbulb

The list "so far" of nutrients negatively affected by acid blocking drugs is:

Protein digestion impaired
B12
Folate
calcium
magnesium
zinc
iron

These are the ones so far that require an acid environment to
be absorbed correctly as nature intended.
