I have been on a proton pump inhibitor for years this reduces acid in the stomach and now I am suffering from peripheral neuropathy. I will be very interested how you get on.

I take Prevacid. I had severe acid reflux and was overweight. After I lost a lot of weight my reflux lessened. My GI doctor had me gradually cut back as my stomach tolerated . Now I take one a week. All my doctors and my own research leads me to believe that the Prevacid has no part to my PN.

Quite possibly unrelated, but I've been taking Pantoprazole 40 mg, a PPI, for the past 21 years, and I've had PN for the past 15 years. In my case, I think it's more of a coincidence.
