Anyone take a PPI?
I have taken Lansoprazole for many years. Has it been definitively proven that PPI’s can cause peripheral neuropathy

I have been on PPI originally it was called Prilosec now it is called omeprazole and I’ve been taking it since 1990. I take 40 mg twice daily sometimes three times daily. The neuropathy in my feet is so bad but I’ve been told it’s diabetes which I have type two but it’s always been controlled completely, so I’m not sure what’s caused it . It’d be interesting to know if PPI do cause this.

@bigjohnscho, have you talked with your doctor about alternatives to taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) to decrease stomach acid production?
