This post is useless. Everyone knows omeprazole is just a bandaid for bad lifestyle choices. Stop taking it and eat less junk.
I was on 40mg for years due to chronic reflux. My doc finally had me drop to 20mg and then every other day. Best decision I ever made. My stomach finally chillin'.
You people don't even know what you're doing. Omeprazole suppresses acid but doesn't fix the root cause. The pharma companies love this. They're making billions while you stay dependent.
I switched to apple cider vinegar and it changed my life like literally OMG I haven't had heartburn in 8 months and I'm so hyped I just wanna tell everyone!!!
I've been on 10mg daily for 3 years. My GI doc said it's fine if symptoms are controlled, but I worry about long-term B12 and magnesium depletion. Anybody else track theirs?
Sometimes the body just needs a little help to find its rhythm. There's no shame in using meds to give yourself space to heal. Be gentle with yourself.
Most of you are clearly uninformed. In the UK, NICE guidelines recommend PPIs only for short-term use unless there's Barrett's esophagus. Your anecdotal evidence means nothing.
I tried going off it cold turkey and ended up with rebound acid. Ended up tapering over 6 weeks with the help of a naturopath. Took forever but worth it.
I took omeprazole for 5 years and now I have osteoporosis, adrenal fatigue, and my hair is falling out. I KNOW it's because of that damn pill. Why won't anyone listen to me?!
If you don't stop taking it you're gonna die. Simple.
