ppi s are over prescribed h2 blockers are usually enough and less damaging to kidneys
He prescribed me a new medicine and told me that I was okay to vape and that it's the way that I have been living my life and it's catching up to me like the constant drinking and smoking and my eating habits
They are nasty. Doesnt matter which PPI. Just do a search sometime, like "omeprazole + rebound" or "PPI + magnesium deficiency". Youll end up on some forums where patients are seeking help. A lot of horror stories big pharma doesnt want you to hear. And the surgeries are just as bad. Most not needed. Just be careful. Good luck.
Darn it Beck, you are right on the mark!!!!!!!!!!!
I've dealt with this, and vaping certain flavors can sometimes aggravate it. If you look up foods that do it, it's possible those same flavors of vape will to, at least in my experience. So for me, I just avoid cinnamon and a few others like that. Also, I try not to vape too much before going to bed since that's when it's bad for me. I'd just take it easy and find some flavors that won't do it. I do find it depends on the specific juice.
And side note, I dealt with acid reflux for most of my life, and the only thing that fixed it for me was losing weight and changing my diet in general. I tried every sort of medication and they all suck. Eat clean, avoid fast food and greasy stuff and try to narrow down what triggers it for you. Best of luck...it really is brutal.
Dependency on pharmaceuticals?
A tragedy.
Especially when ailments will fix themselves when eating healthy.

Learned my lesson, took nexium 3 years ago after a scope found a large ulcer in my stomach.........3 weeks later AFIB........had to be Paddled to bring heart out of A FIB.......it lowers your Mag level as you've stated and if it goes past a certain level can give you a Heart Attack/AFIB............dangerous stuff.....have had heart palpitations to this day
Maybe try changing the habits for a couple weeks, see if it helps.... before going on the medications.
That's what i'm doing. I'm just scared of developing cancer and stuff over time form it.
I have very severe gerd and hypothyroidism. I have to take 2 different types of antigerd pills everyday to keep it in check because it burned my esophagus so bad it have me precancerous lesions called barettes esophagus. Anyways I chain vape and it doesn't affect my gerd at all. I have no idea what my pg/ vg ratio is. It does however make me a little congested and wheezy.
