Like many of you, I went through the whole gauntlet - endless tests, endoscopies, pH tests, you name it. When surgery finally became my only option, I was unea
Hi everyone, Just wanted to share something I wish I'd known earlier: I was on esomeprazole (40mg daily) for over 15 years. No one warned me about long-term side effects, especially around nutrient absorption. Over time I developed severe fatigue, brain fog, and eventually iron deficiency anaemia.

Hi, I'm suffering from gastritis and GERD for about a month, and was prescribed PPI 40mg a day. My symptoms include tight chest pain, sore throat, the feeling of lump in the throat as well as the upper stomach pain, almost like someone punched my stomach. Since I started the medication, I cut down a
I used to take famotidine regularly, and chewable tums/alka seltzer for immediate relief. I recently went on a Disney vacation where my heartburn was absolutely awful, and it was already bad before I went. My mother, whom I love dearly, unfortunately tried to get me to go gluten free for the millio
