A member asked:

Im on prescription omeprazole 40mg. its been 6wks on ppi, isnt stomach acid vital to overall health? i feel kinda strange (unwell all the time)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

PPIs: Stomach acid is vital. There are very few reasons that someone should be on a ppi long term. Stomach acid aids in digestion, defense against infection, and absorption of certain nutrients. Please read my blog below.
