If PPI stops my stomach from producing acid then how am I able to digest food? And for how long does it prevent this? Could have continued on another 5 minutes
@TheStealthDoctor18 күн бұрын
Good question. 1. A ppi won't stop all your acid 2. Cells turn over really fast so they'll start getting replaced immediately and producing acid again 3. You can digest in lots of ways, not just acid. Hope that makes sense

Thanks for that explanation. Have recently started on omeprazole before my midday and evening meals as I cough after eating, but no burning sensation in my throat, so didn't think it was reflux. Seems to be working but now I know why

Sounds like silent reflux. Glad you're feeling better!

Thank you for your video that was very useful, if it binds irreversibly but then those cells are then replaced that means their effects won’t last forever right? So why is it only usually given short term as in 4 weeks and not lifelong? Won’t those symptoms just come back if it’s stopped after 4 weeks or do their effects reduce the acid production forever?

It depends on the underlying reason for the need for PPIs. Often a period of protection allows the gut to recover sufficiently to mean that stopping them is okay. But some people have conditions or take medications which require long term use.

If they irreversibly binds to the proton pump, does it means that the proton pump they are bound to will be forever inactive?
@TheStealthDoctor Жыл бұрын
Good question. Those cells - yes. But the cells of your gut lining are replaced at a very quick rate, so there'll be new cells to bind to soon enough.

Thank you! Re statins: I've already done it Crystal, check out the other vids on the channel 😁

Yes, your stomach will be creating more and more such cells, changing its lining and that’s why you get horrible rebound. Long term PPI will scrw your kidneys, liver and… your stomach! Awesome drugs! See a naturopath to heal, or ask your AI. Fck these pillpushers.

That was really a narrow and unscientific "explanation" against an alkalising diet. While the burger and french fries are burning under the stomach acid next to him.... It's just not credible to listen to as a health "expert". Wrong messages.

What a weird piece of criticism. That’s exactly what they were going for; you can tell by the script and video effects that they’re going for more of a casual and entertaining (as entertaining as you can make a video about the chemical processes of stomach acid) vibe. If you want a “scientific” explanation, I’m sure there’s something else out there for you.
