Combating GERD: Are PPIs the Answer?
Set up a free, 30-minute Gut Healing Breakthrough Session with Lindsey to discuss your gut health issues and hear about my 5-appointment gut health coaching program. Set up an individual, 1-hour consultation here.
Around 20% of people in the Western world are afflicted by GERD or acid reflux. The go-to prescription in most of these cases are PPIs or proton pump inhibitors, one of the most prescribed medications in all of health care. The drawbacks of long-term PPI use are many and their use fails to address the root cause of GERD and other GI issues for which they’re prescribed. Learn more about the causes and root cause treatment of GERD, ulcers, H. pylori and gastritis and the drawbacks of long-term PPI use.
