[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1760106, member: 365308"] Thank you. I had heard of the statins connection but not the PPIs (proton pump inhibitors) which are very commonly prescribed. I have a friend who following a transplant and high doses of steroids, developed diabetes and is rather fed up that he wasn't warned of the risk. Re omeprazole, although it does reduce stomach acid and relieve the symptoms of reflux,they are hard to come off and don't solve the root cause (insufficient stomach acid meaning that the valve at the top of the stomach does not close properly hence the acid burn) and mean that the absorption of key minerals and vitamins is impaired. But they are really hard to come off apparently. [/QUOTE]
