FredWard, I’d be curious what you’re experiencing from the Omeprezole. I’ve been taking 40 mg a day for at least 10 years and haven’t noticed any negative side effects. At least nothing that I’ve attributed to the Omeprezole. Thanks! I take an ON men’s multivitamin, some joint health stuff and a couple of times a week some B-12 sublingually. Hell, is other people!

 whoa...10+ years?Unless you're cleared by your Dr, you may want to get that confirmed and have your kidney's checked. I took Prilosec/Omeprezole for close to that length of time and my Dr, immediately told me to get off it. I wasn't supposed to take it as a daily med but, only take it when you know you're going to eat foods that will cause my reflux to kick-in. I take it before and a few days after those meals. As to the OP, the only thing I take is a daily multi-vitamin. https://www.amazon.com/Rainbow...40-8179-6a77ce88d756 | |||

If you know what meals cause reflux, why do you eat them at all? flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Omeprazole (Prilosec) is a proton pump inhibitor (PPI); there are several others such as pantoprazole (Protonix) and Nexium. PPI's completely inhibit stomach acid production, so are good when weaker medicines, H2 blockers such as famotidine, are not adequate. Long-term use is usually discouraged for a number of reasons: 1. Decreased calcium absorption, which can lead to osteoporosis and fractures 2. Increased risk of pneumonia 3. Vitamin B12 deficiency, as gastric acid is needed for B12 absorption 3. Acute interstitial nephritis (kidney disease) 4. Dementia: suggestive observational studies, no causal relationship yet established PPI's should be tapered gradually to avoid rebound high stomach acid levels. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

My gastro has me taking Nexium every day. Otherwise get reflux. Had lesions in digestive system about 4 years ago also. Been taking since. Only side effect is insomnia if I take it late, so I take it in the AM. Within last year have trouble absorbing iron so have to take infusions periodically. Nexium? Docs don’t know for sure. Have a blood test every 3 months for kidney, liver etc function. I take multivitamin and fish oil when I remember. Maybe I need something for memory. Knees are shot so no jogging. Do lift weights on regular basis. Still bench 190 on a very good day. I’m 72. | |||

Glucosamine Chondroitin-been taking it for years. My knee used to click, I have dinged a shoulder kayaking and dinged an elbow in a fall, all of which has been mitigated. My doc says if works for me there is no downside. Doesn't work for everyone. Multi-vitamin Vitamin C Magnesium Fish Oil CoQ-10 I drink a cup of water with about a tablespoon of lemon juice first thing in the morning, a bit of hydration and digestive health. Taking prescriptions for cholesterol and blood pressure. I am 66, pain free, have full range of motion and reasonably healthy so something is working. Let me help you out. Which way did you come in? | |||

Turmeric has been trendy for a year or two now. How did our parents survive without it? The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

For me it’s not any particular type of meal, I get it all the time. If I stop taking for more than a day or two it comes back. Supposedly caused by me having a very small duodenum. Who knows. Sorry for the drift! Hell, is other people! J-P S | |||

I took that for a while, and it seemed to help. Then, after a few years it didn't seem to, so much, anymore. I switched to Turmeric. Much mo bettah. For me, anyway. CBD oil seems to help me, too.
I don't know about yours, but mine survived with a cabinet-full of prescription meds and OTC pain relievers, neither of which I've needed. Turmeric is less expensive and has less nasty side-effects.

1. Because I enjoy eating 2. Since I know the triggers, I know when I can indulge and when to back-off and adjust my diet. 2. Prilosec/Omeprazole isn't a daily medicine but, an acid regulator. | |||
