You should assume there’s a good reason or two why we have acidic stomach juice. One reason is to prevent infection.
I see two many patients who are put on these drugs are a good reason, but they keep taking them after the drug has finished it’s job.
An “as needed” H2 blocker like Pepcid may be a reasonable substitute for PPIs. Check with your personal physician.
I have nothing against Prilosec in particular. It can be very helpful. It’s one of several PPIs on the market.
