A member asked:
Apart from ppis is there any other food or drugs that may affect calcium absorption?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Foods: Phytic acid and oxalic acid, found naturally in some plants, bind to calcium and can inhibit its absorption. Foods with high levels of oxalic acid include spinach, collard greens, sweet potatoes, rhubarb, and beans. Eating spinach and milk together reduces calcium absorption. Foods high in phytic acid include whole-grain products and wheat bran, beans, seeds, nuts, and soy isolates.

Isnt this an interesting cycle that PPIs reduce stomach acid to help with gastritis but reduction of stomach acid decreases (for example) vitamin B-12 absorption that can also cause gastritis. What is way out?
