Is GERD medicine safe? Taking a PPI for heartburn is safe and fine in the short term. But, taking one of these meds long-term can be unsafe. Here are the 7 to watch for, and make sure you are not taking long-term. Pills such as Prevacid, Nexium, Prilosec & Protonix have many worrisome side effects.
Sometimes busy doctors will continue to refill a medication that is not safe to take long-term. Heartburn/GERD meds are one of the therapeutic classes this often happens with. Taking a proton pump inhibitor for 2-6 weeks is safe and fine. Taking a PPI for many months or years is unsafe and can lead to many of the complications I discuss in this video.
Never thoughtlessly take a prescription pill. Think about every pill, every single day. It is your doctor’s job, but it is ultimately your problem.

I was diagnosed in April with Silent Reflux. Now on a low dose of Omeprazole since April. My chronic cough is gone. I have had a stomachache since starting and I have lost the same 6 pounds since April. I am worried about stopping (other than the cough I had no symptoms) and I am worried to take them.

My doctor had me on Nexium for almost two years. Every time I stopped them I would have the worse heartburn you can imagine. I’ve been on Keto for 14 months now and not only did the heartburn stop completely but I’ve lost 105 pounds. I follow Dr Berry’s RU-vid videos and I have never felt better in my life and I’m 64 years old. Thank you Dr Berry. I feel like you and Keto have saved my life.

@GulfsideMinistries 5 лет назад

Hey Dr Berry - notification squad here! Thanks so much for this video. I thought you'd want to know that *this* is the reason I started keto six months ago. I have had GERD for 20 years (37 now) and did the whole ppi and/or antacid thing. I finally found keto and gave it a shot. It has completely resolved my issues. No more pills! And this was after I talked to three different doctors (plus a couple of EGDs and a manometry) about possible dietary fixes and getting nothing helpful. For me, this isn't just a diet. I like your language. It's a way of eating, and one that I intend to do as long as I live. Keep up the great work, and I'll keep sharing your vids!

@eileeng.7110 5 лет назад

@darrenpeterson4293 5 лет назад

Good information and I agree with much of what you have put forth in this video. As a foregut surgeon I have read all the literature around long term PPI use and would caution overstating the risks as much of this data is “sketchy” at best. The only data that is fairly credible is the bone density data and certainly should be factored into long term use. You also failed to mention the contribution of an incompetent lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and it’s contribution to persistent reflux after appropriate weight loss and dietary changes. Surgically reinforcing this valve with the LINX device has been shown to be extremely effective at controlling refractory GERD in these patients. Great talk!

@NicoleSykesArtistry 5 лет назад

Oh no! I’ve been on protonix for 5 years! I mentioned increased forgetfulness to my physician and she did mention the protonix causing Alzheimer’s. I’ve been on keto for 5 weeks and I haven’t had issues with heartburn. Also if I avoid eating too late, too fast I don’t have issues. I will try your recommendation and slowly reduce the dosage and eventually stop taking it. Calling my Dr. right now! Thank you for this information.

Was on heartburn meds since I was 18, ironically about the same time High Fructose came out. It was to the point a few years ago they were ready to replace my stomach valves. I changed to Keto Jan 3, 2018 within 2-months I was off them and ALL meds I was taking within 4-months. I have not had an issue with heartburn, no more back pain and felling awesome. Keto is not a diet, it is a way of life that has increased my way of living enormously. I have also increased bone mass from 2.8% to my current 3.7%, was also at the dentist and my gums went from a 5 to a 2, just amazing!

@mattwodziak1750 5 лет назад

I definitely respect your advice and your research. I found you on RU-vid months ago when I was trying to educate myself about acid reflux. I just wanted to share my story, short version. I was diagnosed with Hiatal Hernia, EoE and acid reflux. GI prescribed a double dose of omeprazole. I took it even though I knew about all the side effects you listed. I reacted from it so I stopped cold turkey. I took Zantac for many years previously which seemed to have diminishing benefits. I found a naturopath that prescribed a anti-inflammatory diet. It is near a paleo diet but minus all nightshades. If I follow the diet I don’t have any heartburn. If I cheat with wheat or cow dairy, I suffer. After 6 months of this diet and reintroducing various foods I’ve determined that cow dairy and gluten are the biggest triggers. I’ve experimented with goat cheese and have had no issues. I also want to mention that GI doctors are armed with a standard treatment for reflux called an elimination diet. It consists of eliminating gluten, dairy, soy, eggs and shellfish. There may be other variations of this but the point is that this is always their last resort. What’s unbelievable is that research says that this is by far the most successful treatment but they avoid it supposedly because they think people find it too difficult. I guess good health is too difficult so we need a pill. At 6 months now I am feeling about 95% better but I am prepared to accept that this i am probably only about 25% of the way to curing this.

I am down 13 lbs already and have no inflammation. I’m not even into this 2 weeks yet! A few other small things I’ve noticed, my eye bags are literally disappearing before my own eyes. My skin is clearer and I’m only sleeping about 7 hours a night. Normally I’d need 8-10 to feel rested. Thank you Dr. Berry for what you do. You truly are leading the masses to better health physically and mentally. God Bless you. ❤

@dmschnabel 5 лет назад

Thanks so much for your videos! This is one I wish I knew about years ago. I took Omeprazole for about 5 years, because of Eosinophilic esophagitis. After taking it in the morning many thought I had a sunburn. I also had a host of other issues, although most of those no doubt were tied to my poor health. Two two liters of Mountain Dew for many years did not help. I stopped cold turkey from the omeprazole and had a rotten six months which I managed with sauerkraut, pickles, apple cider vinegar and apples. I also use ground red pepper on any tomato sauces. Now with Keto & intermittent fasting I am down over 60lbs and don't have heart burn or choke anymore on food or water. Many health problems including a lot of arthritis has gotten a lot better. My blood work is better than it was 18 years ago! Now have pushed into the carnivore side trying to see if God will allow more of my body to heal. We truly are fearfully and wonderful made! I have learned a lot from you and Dr. Fung! Thanks again!

@mauler5858 2 года назад

Doc, this video has been huge for me. I have been on PPIs for 10+ years, and was just recently bumped from 20 to 40 mg by my old doctor to help with some allergy induced reflux symptoms. Started with a new doctor and decided that I should get off of the PPIs completely after bringing up my concerns about it from seeing your video. He tested me for deficiencies and sure enough D was very low and B12 was borderline low. The weaning off process has actually not been as bad as I anticipated it being either. Thanks for putting this good info out there for us!

@JoanVBruce 5 лет назад

Further to my last comment, I have taken the time to reread the enclosed leaflet that comes in the package. Sure enough all your points are mentioned ( except keto, of course) it's been years since I read it and I can only say, I should have noticed sooner that it warns of the use for longer than 1 year, recommends 8 weeks preferably. I will be working on an alternate day dosage for a week and see how it goes, along with my keto diet and ACV drink. Thanks for the vid.

I have been keto now for a year. I've been taking Tecta (pantoprazole magnesium) 40 mg. for close to 10 years. My doctor just keeps prescribing them and I had no idea they should only be taken for a few weeks. I didn't have heartburn but the top of my stomach was so inflamed that I vomited every time I ate. Not fun. I have reduced the dosage to every second day for the last month - so far so good. I will now start taking one every third day and see what happens. I'm hoping to get off of them entirely. I have had lots of eye issues (macular holes) and I had a minor fall and broke my hip a couple of years ago. Both things could certainly be a result of taking this med for so long. I am hoping there is not more damage done. Thank you so much for this information.

After seeing this you tube video I have weaned myself off Nexium and only take one when required.

I’ve also been on Lovan for depression for about 15 years since my mid forties.

I took Nexium daily for many years, and then later - Omeprazole. It was only when I watched an earlier video of yours that I found out that should never have happened. Been weaning myself off of it. That has taken a few months to do. Now I probably take one or two a week. I'm using diluted ACV to deal with the heartburn as much as possible. But I hadn't thought of going back to the doc to get a lower dose or something else instead. Thanks for continuing to produce such high quality videos.

Had my gallbladder out in 2006 and was told that because of that fact I would need Omeprazole for life. I believe that's also a PPI :( . I went to my GP recently and told him that since I've been Keto and lost 40+ pounds I'd like to try reducing ALL of my meds to see how it goes (I was on 7 different meds) He told me my BP was perfect, my hbalc was coming right down, and the PPI I'm on shouldn't be taken long term due to Osteoporosis risks, so he's happy for that to be reduced/stopped too :) . Looks like Keto might be responsible for not only cutting my risks of drug complications, but also for saving a ton of money for our NHS :) 7 meds every month for the last 13 years adds up to crazy money and that's just for one person, imagine the savings to be had if all doctors were up to date with appropriate diet/nutrition needs across millions of patients?

Thanks to pantoprazole, I ended up with low serum calcium levels which triggered ventricular ectopic (VE) beats. I've had the VE diagnosis since my late 20's whenever I got low on magnesium it would happen. Well the mag wasn't fixing it this time, I took so much magnesium I got diarrhoea. So I told my doc, he ran my bloods, and when he said my calcium was low, I said "that'll be from the PPI I've been taking for 20 years". He said "why?", I kindly suggested he look it up!!! I already knew PPI's blocked calcium absorption, but I am still confused as to why it became a problem all if a sudden after 20yrs. I was taking calcium supplements too. Now I have to wean off the PPI, enough is enough!

Because sugar causes gastroparesis, (paralysis)and the food lies there and putrifies. As we age we don't produce enough stomach acid either. GERD is caused by not having ENOUGH stomach acid.

I learned a long time ago from the woman who ran up my local health food store at the time the people complaining about what appears to be heartburn and or indigestion is actually a symptom of not having enough stomach acid in their body. And instead of an antacid what they really need to do is include some Betadine pepian and other things to help the body digest

Me and my brother both got rid of fairly regular acid reflux with intermittent fasting. It wasn't our goal, it just sort of happened.

@kimberlyrichardson6970 4 года назад

I have had acid reflux since I was a teenager (I'm in my 50's now) and was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophagus in 2010. I've been on a PPI daily since then (had to finally go to Dexilant because the others stopped working). I'm an RN and I know that daily use isn't good and I want so badly to get off of the PPI but the rebound reflux (for me it's mainly chest pain symptoms) of going off of them scares me to death. I will watch your other video and try this. I've done kept/low carb off and on but I need to stick with it. I'm due for my 3 yr upper end in January and I'd love to be off of the PPI's then just to see how it turns out! Thanks Dr. Berry!

@jessie9653 Год назад

Hi, I know your comment is 3 years old but I'm curious what your chest pain symptoms are like? My husband just started keto and tried going off of his omeprazole that he's been on for years and is having the same chest issues, he's never had these before but this is what the doctor thinks It is from him trying to get off his omeprazole. I don't know if he should try weaning off of them or just stay on them for life like the doctor wants him to do. It gets so frustrating after a while. How are you doing?

@kimberlyrichardson6970 Год назад

@@jessie9653 right now, I am off of my PPI and have been for almost 3 months. The "chest pain" was like a burning sensation behind my sternum when I weaned off the PPI. With my reflux which I had since my teen years, I would get nauseated, have sharp pains behind my sternum and eventually I really had no symptoms at all with it. I've fallen off the keto wagon quite a few times but I'm doing keto/carnivore now, losing weight and I only eat one or two times a day within a 6-8 hr window. I'm due for my 3 yr scope this yr so we will see how it goes. I'm actually seeing Dr. Rob Cywes (CarbAddictionDoc) and hoping to get a 2nd opinion from him on my GERD because I know he's more accepting of diet as treatment than my regular GI. I just want to be on as little medication as possible so right now I take allergy meds (Claritin/Singulair) and a couple of vitamins. Its hard to find a GI Doc that will support no meds for GERD, I hope you are able to find someone who will work with your husband on it 🙏

@TommyBoy11 Год назад

It is scary to think of stopping Omeprazole because I have Barrett's Esophagus. I am hoping keto will help.

@pennyatherton3892 5 лет назад

I learned that these were only meant for short term when I had to purchase over the counter due to timing issues. I also discovered that the new health concerns I was having were side effects from them. I then pushed to have my hiatal hernia repaired. I have not had heartburn or reflux since.

@DannyB-cs9vx 5 лет назад

Heartburn for me came from too little acid. At times I had to sleep in a recliner instead of the bed. Apple cider vinegar helped a lot. I have used red wine vinegar as well. Not eating before bed is also a good thing. Reading other comments makes me realize since going Keto, I have not had heartburn, but then I try to do 2 tbs of apple cider vinegar a day.

@ladawnnandrasy194 5 лет назад

Hi Dr. Berry. I've been on Keto for six weeks now and I appreciate the great information I've learned from you. About three weeks ago I started doing a blood test every morning to measure ketones and glucose. Generally, my glucose would be in the 70s and 80s and my ketones would be 1.0 to 2.5. I haven't done anything differently since starting the diet, and I don't feel any different, but three days ago I got up and my glucose was 61 and my ketones were 3.6. Yesterday glucose was 63 and ketones were 3.2, today glucose was 62 and ketones were 2.6. Is it dangerous to have glucose levels that low? I scrolled through your videos and don't see any focusing on glucose levels, but maybe I just missed it. If you haven't done one on glucose, it would be great if you would. Again, thank you for your great help and encouragement!

@amandasays21 4 года назад

I was on and off of Nexium for about 2 years before it was realized I had gallstones, thus having my gallbladder removed. I ended up developing a B12 deficiency (pins and needles feeling, cracks in the corners of my mouth, tired) and my doctor had me give myself monthly injections of B12 for over a year to get back to normal levels. All of this happened 10 years ago when I was 21.

My husband and I are new to the diet (only a few weeks) but we've noticed a significant reduction in heartburn. My husband has esophageal spasms as a result of his and he hasn't had to take his meds for a few days now. On our cheat day (birthday/last day of chemo for his dad) we paid for it, and it just confirmed to us that we're doing something right. Edit: My husband was on an Rx dose of Prilosec 4 times a day for his spasms. After we found out about the class action suit and all of the side effects his Dr. didn't tell us about, we pulled him off of it on our own. We have him on OTC generic Pepcid on an as needed basis.

@yooperlooper 5 лет назад

I used to take Prilosec but heard about it's dangers a few years ago (thanks to the internet - not a doctor) so I quit. I drink a lot of ice tea - so I switched to only Rooibos herbal tea in the afternoon which helped a lot. I've started cutting back on my carbs & eating more healthy fat now, heading toward Keto and it's helped even more!

@my-yt-inputs2580 5 лет назад

My mother has been taking a PPI for over 3 years. She was recently taken off it to treat for possible ulcers. She had gotten to the point where she was nauseous most of the time. I'm trying to get her on a more Ketogenic lifestyle. She's Type 2 with A1Cs in the low 8s. I've made some headway with her however. Oh and she's 95.

I used to have severe heartburn, acid reflux, and the shortness of breath that came with it. I was taking the maximum dose each of a combination of proton pump inhibitors and H2 blockers for twenty years. Recently I figured out what was wrong and stopped them cold turkey. I found out that my reflux was from TOO LITTLE ACID, not too much. Your stomach has sensors and when your stomach acid gets low, your esophageal sphincter opens up and that's when you get the back splash of acid up into your esophagus and mouth. When you have enough acid, your esophageal sphincter closes tight and only opens to allow food in. To correct it, I have been taking acidifiers with every meal. I take Betaine HCL and apple cider vinegar to lower the pH in my stomach and increase the amount of acid. That eliminated most of the heartburn. Cutting vegetable cooking oils, and other inflammatory foods, eliminated the remaining heartburn. The great doctor's advice about going with an anti inflammatory carnivore diet is awesome.

@Jean-vs6eq 5 лет назад

Bad thing about this, is when your doctor prescribes these, they don't tell you to only take it for no longer than 12 weeks. My doctor kept refilling mine for over 15 years, until recently, that she told me that I need to just take the OTC one because the this anti acid med was bad for my bones. Of course though, she also began hounding me to be taking Calcium because of my age. But, after listening to Dr. Berry, I have stopped both, but have also been doing KETO for a few weeks now.

George's aloe vera juice will stop heartburn in its tracts (a little longer if gut burn is from gallbladder issues). My husband took this juice several times a day for almost a year in order to repair the damage from the burning gut. Know that this juice should not cause much, if any, gastric distress. However, fixing the burn damage is just one part of the issue, you'll need to correct the metabolic issues as well.

@ernestjahn6676 5 лет назад

My doctor had me on Nexium and Ambien for over 3 years and me over 65 years old (70 now)! Every time I saw him he would just refill the script. Even when I told him I was having memory issues. Oh yes, and also Simvistatin! I just quit all of them and instead of going through withdrawals, I started feeling better almost immediately (had one headache, which I never get). Getting memory back has been a challenge, but continuous progress. I have a different Doctor now, who appreciates my involvement in my own health. None of the above are suitable for elderly in my opinion. I am eating PKD now (like Zsofia Clemens advocates) and feeling great. Confession: I do eat liver, but treat it as a med, not a treat! :)

Thank you for this video, I needed to see it.. I am currently suffering from a very bad case of reflux for the last 2 days.. Had an EGD 5 years ago which showed mild gastritis and a hiatal hernia, ((tested negative for H-pylori)) I was put on Prilosec and stopped taking it and then started taking Protonix and just recently, Pepcid, which now has also stopped working, so I went back on Prilosec a few days ago, still having symptoms periodically throughout the day.. Had a ct scan of my stomach almost 2 years ago to date and was told everything looked fine, so I dont understand where this is coming from.. Maybe my diet? I am at a loss... but anyways, thanks for the informative video, I will try this 14 day course of Prilosec and then strive to change my diet and see how that works..

Ppi set you up for bacterial overgrowth, like candida and heliobacter. 2 bottles of Mastic gum got rid of mine. Been fighting candida for 4 years and now since LCHF 2 weeks, the candida is not being fed by sugar or any other white stuff. The stomach needs acid to keep the bacterias in balance and serve as a barrier to them. Those meds are going to lead to severe medical problems. Been there done that. They cut off all acid production, which causes many gut and bone problems. One of my ribs became unattached to my spine carrying laundry detergent into the house. Went to chiro and he broke two ribs putting it back in. So osteoporosis is a problem with ppis. Try intermittent fasting and no sugar or any white foods. Keto with easy to digest meats for awhile then ease into red meats. Sounds like you need enzymes. Bromalaine (pineapple core) works wonders. The fresh pineapple would kick you out of ketosis, but it works wonders for indigestion too. Full of enzymes. You had no H pylori 5 yrs ago but thanks to ppi I bet you have it now, cuz thats what ppis do. 😎😐

@tepaso77 5 лет назад

Dr.Berry I want to say thank you so much you are a true blessing to us all. My only regret is that I live in South Florida and not in your town. My question is about vitamin D and K2. My lovely wife of 38 years and I both had gastric bypass surgery 11 years ago. At the time I was 550lbs and she was 350lbs. I now weigh 345& she weighs 248lbs. I don't know exactly how much of our small intestine they removed but I do know that it wasn't just a little bit. I believe it was in the area of 25% plus shortly after they also removed our gallbladders. According to your video vitamin D and K2 are fat soluble vitamins and should be taken with some kind of GOOD fats ie grass fed butter or avocado oil. My problem is that we don't have gallbladders and from what I have been able to see if you don't have a gallbladder you may not be able to get all the benefits of the vitamins because your absorption of the vitamins is lacking. I was wondering if you would please let me know how we can help our absorption of the vitamins that you recommend. Better yet would you please make a video so that everyone that is in our predicament can be helped. Thank you so much. I pray that you truly understand how much of a blessing you really are. We are going to start helping you out as much as we can being on disability it won't be much but every little bit helps. Please let me know if you can help us and people like us. I not sure if you have already covered this and if you have let me know which video it is. Have a wonderful day and God bless you today and everyday. Mr.& Mrs. Fernandez.

I have three of the heart burn medications sitting in front of me, that you mentioned in your video. Newest is Panteprazole. Other two are Ranitidine and lastly Omeprazole. I have horrific heartburn. My normal Doctor is setting me up to be scoped. I am at the point it hurts to drink water, because it burns all the way to my bariatric sleeved stomach. My bariatric Dr has had me on Ranitidine since the day of surgery 11/26/14. I seriously need to find healing doctors not draw a pill out of the big pharma bag of horrible tricks.
