A member asked:

I accidentally ate some moldy shredded cheese. i take 40mg pantaprozol. should i be worried i don't have enough acid to kill the mold?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No worries: You still have acid otherwise you can digest your food. You will be ok, the moldy cheese will be digested, you may have an upset stomach but nothing serious.
