“The level of abdominal damage and pain I’d have to endure without a good PPI acid-reducer is frightening.”

I’ve been taking PPIs for decades and have gotten excellent results. Now, however I’m suffering from extreme fatigue, a possible long-term side effect of PPIs.

After reading the article, I did a quick search and found this: how to get off PPIs and back to normal:

“Now, however I’m suffering from extreme fatigue, a possible long-term side effect of PPIs.”

So am I and am on a stimulant (Rx) to combat it with varying success. BTW, every time I have tried to taper down omeprazole and substitute h2 blockers, folk treatments, etc., I ended up in the hospital or at least with an epic case of spasm of the esophagus, which is “somewhat” unpleasant. Thanks for the link. I do follow research on PPIs and other topics.
