Well controlled studies are now confirming the fact that acid suppressing medications leads to incresed hip fractures .The mechanism is simple .. the acid is needed to absorb the calcium from the diet or the supplements .Not only the calcium is not absorbed neither is iron ,zinc and other trace elements needed for bone health .
These medications do wonders when taken for an ulcer in the stomatch or the duodenum,but the need is only for 4-12 weeks not months !
Symptoms of heartburns are rarely secondary to too much acid ,more often they are due to too little acid which results in maldigestion and putrifaction of the food .
SO TRY TO CUT BACK/STOP THE ACID SUPPRESSERS YOU MAY BE ON,CLEAN UP YOUR DIET !!
