A member asked:
Can ppis actually cause heartburn? started taking them for tummy issues, and have since developed heartburn while on them?!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Refractory. : My first thought there would be not that the PPI caused the heartburn, but that your symptoms are progressing despite the PPIs and as such they require further investigation and clarification as to cause.
