Yes most people don’t know PPI’s are for short term use. No more than 4 weeks . No Dr’s tell you this . I learned by googling it .
I took a few different ones short term but non helped ( not even Protonix RX or Delaxiant RX .
I have 10 years of chronic digestive disorders. 7 diagnosed through tests. Had 3 rd colonoscopy & endoscopy w/ biopsies recently .
Gastritis, GERD , small hiatal hernia, diverticulosis, Esophagitis , small non cancerous flat polyps on stomach lining . IBS.
Deep wet belching over 1000 x a day and night , upset and churning gut . Hate to eat anything.
Tried everything RX , holistic, diet wise , every supplement for stomach issues they make .
I’m 62 yr old female and this started 52 .
I also have such chronic fatigue the last few years w/ it .
I eat healthy at home 🏠 and rarely eat out .
I live on Ultra Pepto . Take anti anxiety med as needed .
Tried Antidepressants for IBS but bad side effects.
It’s a long hard road to walk . I’m sorry you are going through so much as well .
Quality of life def goes down this way .
No hope in site for me at this point.
🙏🙏

My Gastro tried to convince me that it's the Over the Counter PPI's that are ONLY for 14 days ? That the studies people quote either were BLIND or not BLIND studies whatever she was trying to say but that my Colonoscopy & Edoscopy show NO signs of damage ?

I'm STUBBORN I'm NOT giving up & feel like Dr's did this to me & they can call it this & that but WHERE'S the REAL proof & WHAT do you DO to have something close to NORMAL ? IF they don't see it in tests they just make you feel like it's mental. I'm glad nothing awful has been diagnosed but ALL i'm reading sure looks like it's from meds. I forgot a few on & off dull pain right side low. Occular Migraines,Pretty much every joint I have. The muscle loss & the look even though I haven't really lost weight still 190 never been over 200 & 5'11 but to me looks like someone that lost a lot of weight. That sick look. BUT I've had ALL the Old Folks vaccines to be PROACTIVE & 6 Covid vaccines to ate & told this last one needs a booster 4 months after. I NEVER was a Vaccine person but because of age & Grandkids decided to just do em all.
