This is an easy, inexpensive way to address a common opioid use issue.

I’m on omeprazole, but I need opioids for my pain but docs in the military and VA won’t prescribe it.

I never had any of these problems when my doctors and I decided it was best for me to become addicted to opiates for a few months before my surgery??

“...this condition can be reversed through treatment with proton pump inhibitor drugs like omeprazole...”

Poison. No credibility in this article.

It’s what killed the King on his throne.

In Memphis, 1977.

Opioid induced gastro problems included constipation. He blew a gasket on the crapper, to quote Paulie “Walnuts” Galtieri.

I just had surgery and was prescribed omneprazole along with opioids.

For the record:

A month or so ago I discovered that omeprazole was last on a list of causes of low blood protein. My blood protein has been below the low for five or so years. I attributed the fact to surgery in ‘17 and inactivity for a good while.

I looked at the graph and guess what? The protein lever decrease followed precisely the start of the omeprazole. I ceased taking the drug and the next lab report showed a near vertical increase in the graph of blood protein.

Omeprazole is not a problem for most but for me it was an insidious drag on my body function
