RE: It's not just medications: A third of U.S. adults take medications that can cause depression, study finds
Proton pump inhibitors, also known as PPI's caused kidney failure in one woman the nightly news with Lestor Holt reported one night. Less than a year on them she became extremely ill, she went to the doctor and found her kidney's were failing. I am assuming they were talking prescription strength. When I asked my doctor when he wanted to put me on a PPI for acid about the report of kidney failure his response was we all die of something. Now I just watch better what I eat and if it gives me heartburn I add it to a list of things I need to watch when eating.
Heartburn sucks. I use to have really bad heartburn but taking high quality supplements cured me. It's caused by a calcium deficiency.
I didn't know it was caused by a calcium deficiency. You take calcium supplement and that gets rid of it?
Yes, easily absorbed calcium citrate not the calcium bicarbonate crap you find in walmart vitamins. You also need vitamin D and magnesium to properly absorb it. Calcium is needed for proper muscle memory. If you don't have enough of it the little flap in your stomach that keeps acid from getting into your esophagus will not fully close and that's why you have heart burn. Also, if you sometimes get twitches/ticks in your face or muscle spasms in your arms and legs it will fix those problems as well.
