Why are you commenting? Do you even know anything about the body of humans? They are right, long-term use of omperazole causes the acid pumps in our stomach to shut off. Which effects the absorption of vitamins and minerals. And who are you to questions a person’s right to stop medication.

@plex091 - I don't believe any criticism or disrespect were intended; I think dadl48 was simply trying to understand what had prompted the change, and make sure that a doctor was involved in the decision/overseeing the transition. I'm sure there was no intent to hurt or upset anyone.

I'm interested to hear about your experience. Are you taking or have you taken Omeprazole? What brought you to this discussion?

Hi @plex091 and welcome to Connect. I can see that you are impassioned by a comment made in this discussion. Disagreements are fine. In fact, it is through presenting opposing evidence or information that we learn to evaluate information about our health. However, we strongly discourage attacks on fellow members, especially when they are asking a question to get more information.
