Antacid and your nutrients

ggarp

I was on prescription antacids and OTC as well to control GERD and gastritis.

Meds worked wonders so I thought. It was only after I went in for routine physical and found everything in blood test show levels of vitamins low. I was given a prescription for vitamins. I walked out of doctors visit and found out after some research that the antacids change the way your stomach absorbs the nutrients in the food you eat. I weened myself off them.
I stop eating the way did before after smaller meals lower in sugar and fat. I soon was just on a prescription then ween myself down to just tums.
Weight loss from change has been about 20lbs and I no longer need meds.
If I eat thing that I know is gives my stomach woes I grin and bear it just as a reminder that you can't eat that way again ever.
