Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole does have issues, but trying to mitigate GERD symptoms with antacids and failing to suppress it fully cauaes worse issues. It takes massives doses to significantly suppress the stomach acid - typical doses just reduces it a bit.

If you need PPIs for extended periods of time you absolutely should talk to a doctor to rule out potentially serious possibilities, though.

Yeah, I did and this is what he prescribed me. PPI is one of the most prescribed drugs, if not the most.

That's why this article is really interesting
