You are smart to avoid drugs. It’s only a bandaid fix. Gastros push PPI but they have horrendous side effects. I can’t stay on them longer than 3 months. It keeps me from absorbing magnesium and I get horrible leg cramps. It can keep you from absorbing B12 also have to get shots. I was just on for 3 months again and I had to stop. Not sure if there is any real cure for this problem. Trigger foods are different for everyone.

I also started to get severe leg cramps at night. I'll wake up feeling like I've torn my calf muscle screaming in pain. I thought it was from me walking too much and never thought to question the ppi I'm on. Now I know.
