I took substantial doses of HL Betaine before meals and bile drops. (Don't think I have them available to check here to check exact name.

Also I laid off of simple carbs for a while until my other metabolic issues (Metabolic Syndrome; overweight, Insulin Resistance) cleared up. I now eat them again in small and rarer quantities.

I can't tell you how bad my health was in part because of the PPI long term use. I think Zantac contributed to breast cancer and another PPI a doc put me on for gastritis caused dreadful anemia, "cured" finally by iron transfusions.

I am almost 86 and all considering have not been healthier in years.

Check if your problem is lack of acid this way. Take a TBS or 2 of apple cider vinegar in water. If you feel better rather than worse, the substantial odds are that your underlying problem is lack of sufficient acid. IT CAN BE FIXED. The body desperately looks for healing and homeostasis and knows how to do it if given the correct inputs, i.e. overall nutrition . Variety is key and I swear by hefty doses of all sorts of supplements. but recommend most highly Taurine and Gly-Nac (Glycine-N'acetly cysteine ) which is the precursors your body uses to make Glutathione, the main antioxidant the body makes. Look up all sorts of scientific reports on YouTube.
