MedicalConspiracies- ACID REFLUX meds can cause severe deficiency in critical nutrients

Acid reflux is the condition where your stomach acid is "burped" back up your esophagus maybe even into your throat, causing a burning sensation.  If this happens often enough, it can cause serious damage to your esophagus and much pain for you.  However there is an EASY answer.  As we age, our stomach/liver doesn't make  as much acid, which is needed to digest our foods, so in order to have enough, our body will "recycle" acid back into the stomach.  Most people think, and I know I did!, that the problem is an abundance of acid, when in truth, it is a lack.  I used to get Acid Reflux, aka heartburn, almost daily.  Then, I found out about hydrochloric acid, which is the acid your stomach need to digest the foods.  I started taking a couple of those with each meal, and voila!  No more Acid Reflux.  It's been YEARS since I had any acid reflux.  I get mine from www.swansonvitamins.com but any health food store would have them.

Acid reflux medications can cause severe deficiency in critical nutrients

Acid reflux medications greatly increase these nutrient deficiencies, notably B-complex vitamins, vitamin C, zinc, copper, calcium and magnesium. In fact, last May the FDA warned that long-term users of PPI`s were at increased risk of bone fractures. The agency was unable to link deficiencies in calcium and magnesium to the bone loss, however, stating "the association between the drugs and bone fractions is still not understood." Other side effects seen from long-term PPI usage are stomach atrophy, liver damage, anemia, fungal growth in the esophagus, and cancerous stomach polyps.
