PPIs - omeprazole

[Chickens44]

I was on omeprazole for probably 20 years every day, I think originally for IBS symptoms. Never advised to stop.

I found out last December what it can do to stomach acid and think this is why I had Vitamin D, B12 and other nutrient deficiencies. I’ve always eaten well and don’t eat any junk food. But I’ve probably not been absorbing properly.

My question is, how long does the stomach take to regain the correct pH acid level after stopping PPIs? I have been taking Betaine HCL and have tried apple cider vinegar and lime juice. But I feel I’m possibly still not absorbing.

I did the bicarbonate of soda test this morning, and had a small burp after 10 minutes. I’m going to do it again for the next couple of days.

you can get sublingual D and B12 evens injection private or ask doctor.

As for stomach acid I think alkaline and probiotics are ironically better, but yes I guess that could affect. Maybe try electrolytes too magnesium and potassium. Dehydration is killer for everything
