Should I take the PPI's?
Posted: Sat Sep 23, 2017 11:14 pm
Hey guys,
I got a prescription for a PPI drug for 3 month from my doctor for internal medicine.
I have bad sour taste in my mouth, bb, pressure in my stomach that comes and goea and constant hunger.
He suggested to take the drug for 3 month or until I see the GI doctor he refered me too. (Wait time can be 3 month here)
He said there is no such thing as low stomach acid, only neutral or high.
Can the GI doctor test my stomach acid level?
If so why should I take this drug if I dont even know if my acid levrl is high?
Thanks for your advice
