Low stomach acid and acid reflux common when on inadequate dose, or low vitamins or poor converter

First step is to get FULL thyroid and vitamin testing as detailed in previous post

Not meaning to hijack thread, but do you think this feeling would be made worse by taking omeprazole, which would of itself decrease stomach acid?

For good thyroid function we need GOOD vitamin levels

Omeprazole frequently causes vitamin levels to drop even lower

The news on omezprazole is unfortunate, I get oesophagitis if I don’t take this, after awful Graves’ disease. I wonder if there’s another brand I can use instead, so my vitamin levels don’t drain....

bicarbonate of soda in a glass of water does it for me.
