You should assume there’s a good reason or two why we have acidic stomach juice. One reason is to prevent infection. I see too many patients who are put on these drugs for a good reason, but they keep taking them after the drug has finished its job. An “as needed” H2 blocker like Pepcid may be a reasonable substitute for PPIs. Check with your personal physician.
