Acid Reflux and PPI's

[Pax]

PPI have been linked to increased fracture risk when taken continuously for more than 7 years. http://www.medicalconsumers.org/page...pfractures.htm
However, if your GERD is not controlled by diet and weight loss (if appropriate) you need to have a discussion with your doctor about the relative risk of esophageal cancer from not taking the drug vs. hip fracture from taking the drug.

Thanks, I'd read that too, I'm planning on discussing it with my doc.

Isn't self-care management fun?

So true!
