I have EPI and my PPI helps the enzymes I take to digest food, helps malabsorption. It decreases my excessive acid to help digest food.

I don't know anything about EPI, perhaps the PPI with enzymes works differently in that situation. For GERD, it makes it harder to digest food because of the decrease in acid. B12 is cited as a possible side effect for that reason. Thanks for the response, and good luck with your issues.
