@dvdhoover @robbie1956 - There have been discussions on Connect on trying to get off PPIs- there is awareness.
I’m not happy having to take PPIs twice a day, but for years I have had GERD and gastritis. My weight loss did not really change it.
I’m lucky to have avoided CDiff, tested many times.
I have followed a group here too trying to get rid of this most horrible disease.
With time I hope science will find a safer way to deal with the acid problem.

Hi everyone i though i would add that i do take Omeprazole 40 mg for many years now and ill admit i did have cdiff jun 0 2019 pretty bad but it was determined that it was due to anti biotics and im still on them for other viruses i have but i also take lacobacillus also which so far has kept any loosen stool issues away. I did look up what you mentioned but it seems mostly to be noted against Nexium which i just happen to be allergic to. I always was told cdiff was probally due to anti bionics. I dont think its the omeprazole since ive been on that for many years way before my Heart Transplant with no issues with cdiff .
Have a Blessed Day
Dana
