[QUOTE="Viv19, post: 2083693, member: 502009"] Re your concern about taking the PPI. I need it too and was wondering about long term side effects. My brother has told me several times that the dangers of acid reflux changing the cell structure (I think of the oesophagus) was more serious than any side effects that may be caused by the medication itself. He’s a clinical pharmacist/university lecturer- my go-to person to double check things when we were in less reliable countries. Can you take some over the counter rennies or similar until you can have your prescription filled? It’s only a short time so you can probably eat lots of them. My GP recently said that because I’m no longer eating carbs (which she supports and is very positive about) that that is the reason the acid level is worse now as the carbs partly neutralise it.
