You don't, like, take that chronically do ya? I've heard that vigorously warned against...
Thanks for bringing this up, I'm curious about folks' experiences/thoughts regarding Proton Pump Inhibitors
It may be prescribed long term if the benefits outweigh the possible risks. If someone is taking it in their own, itβs probably better to talk to their doc about it. My understanding is that itβs safe but can have long term effects and needs to be stepped down if you stop after taking it a while
Is that overseen by a GI specialist or your family dr? No offense to general practitioners?l
I was initially prescribed this by my doctor.
Have you considered getting a second more specialized opinion from GI?
I did, from a specialist in Japan. It really helps me as I can get extreme symptoms such as nausia, vomiting, insane back pain and inability to eat anything. No other medicines have helped me like this.
