In this video, we’re going to take a look at proton-pump inhibitors, also known as PPIs. PPIs are the most potent inhibitors of stomach acid production. They work by blocking the pump in your stomach that releases hydrochloric acid.

Proton-pump inhibitors are one of the most popular drugs in the world. They are used to treat conditions like acid reflux, GERD, gastritis, and stomach ulcers.

Proton-pump inhibitor use does not come without side effects. Here are some of the unwanted side effects that come along with PPIs:
•Headache
•Nausea
•Diarrhea
•Abdominal Pain
•Gas
•Anxiety
•Dizziness
•Fatigue
•Bone Fractures
•Muscle Damage
•Increased risk of the following health problems: dementia, kidney disease, C-Diff, SIBO, fungus, candida, polyps, colitis, and hypochlorhydria(low stomach acid).

Additional symptoms caused by hypochlorhydria(low stomach acid) include the following:
• Anemia
• Decreased vitamin B12
• Decreased absorption of vitamin C, B, and K
• Increased risk of infection
• Overgrowth of bacteria
• Increased risk of carcinoma in stomach

To increase your stomach acid, try drinking 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar mixed in a glass of water, with each meal. If you don’t like the taste, try adding stevia.

Betaine hydrochloride is a natural acidifier that can also be used, especially if you need something a bit stronger. The only time you wouldn't want to use these acidifiers is if you have an ulcer.

Instead of using a PPI to deal with GERD and acid reflux, the best thing to do is address your diet.
