Are Proton Pump Inhibitors Harming Your Health?

July 10, 2024

GoldCare offers a variety of educational classes, including our Masterclass series, designed to provide in-depth insights into various health topics. In one of our Masterclasses, we delved into the significant effects of Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) on overall health. Mary Gilbert, a nurse practitioner and clinical nutritionist, began by explaining the basics of PPIs, commonly used to treat conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and stomach ulcers by reducing stomach acid.

The Dangers of Overuse

Our class highlighted the risks associated with the long-term use of PPIs. Mary shared that PPIs, though effective in short-term use, can lead to adverse effects such as chronic kidney disease, bone fractures, and even dementia when used for prolonged periods. She stressed the importance of regular reviews and cautious prescribing to avoid unnecessary complications.

Real-World Impacts

Mary also emphasized the physiological importance of stomach acid. The discussion touched on how reducing stomach acid can hinder digestion and nutrient absorption, leading to deficiencies and overall health issues. Mary illustrated this with real-world examples of patients who experienced significant improvements after adjusting their PPI usage and incorporating holistic approaches.
