http://homefirst.com/ Everyday 70,000,000 people suffer from some form of digestive issue (heartburn, acid reflux, GERD, IBS, indigestion constipation,diarrhea, abdominal pain, etc.). To relieve their symptoms people turn to Tums , Rolaids , Zantac , Tagamet , or the more dangerous, PPIs Proton Pump Inhibitors] (Nexium®, Prevacid®, Prilosec®, Protonics®, etc.).

People over age 50 who take these drugs [proton pump inhibitors] for more than one year have a 44% increased risk of breaking a hip. PPIs inhibit the body from producing stomach acid. However, some stomach acid is needed to absorb calcium, which is needed for healthy bones.
The inability to absorb calcium may be the cause of the increased risk for osteoporosis.1 Mice treated with prescription drugs called proton pump inhibitors or PPIs, like Prilosec and Prevacid, which block acid production, acquired more bacteria and developed more inflammatory changes in their stomach linings than untreated mice.2

Pathogenic bacteria thrives in an alkaline environment; therefore, medications taken to reduce stomach acid could actually increase the risk of developing pneumonia. The incidence rate of pneumonia in those who took acid-suppressive drugs was 2.45 out of every 100 people a year. This was compared to 0.6 among those who didn't take acid-suppressive drugs.3 If you inhibit gastric acid production, you interfere with the stomach's natural defense mechanism. Reduced gastric acidity does appear to make the mammalian stomach more vulnerable to bacterial invasion, gastritis and osteoporosis. Therefore, physicians may want to re-evaluate the long-term use of acid-reducing medications in their patients.

  • @ronv11 If you got bad LES, then 9 times out of 10 this means that you have acid reflux. PPIs are crap because they also suppress acid. Weak LES is the result of too little acid and if you take PPIs you are just making matters worse.

  • Hi Doc

    what about if a person has a bad les? what then? you need to stop the acid right? I cant stand ppis they dont work for me. I wonder if you got the answer
