Side effects after discontinuing long term PPI therapy for GERD


trents

Recommended Posts

trents Grand Master

So after reading on the net recently that discontinuing long term PPI therapy can give you dyspepsic rebound, the light went on why I had always gotten heartburn within 2 days of attempting to quit daily PPI therapy, which I have been on for close to 15 years. 

Experts are now advising a slow taper when you try to quit. I was not aware of that and I don't think doctors were either back when I started it. But okay, I was three days into the cold turkey approach with a Gaviscon supplement when aboslutely necessary. 

This is the fourth day now and the dyspepsia is getting better.

 

But what baffles me is how crummy I feel otherwise. Everything aches and I'm very tired like as if I had the flu but I don't. Can all this be caused by an unhappy tummy or is there some other connection, maybe related to sudden change in body PH? Has anyone else ever experienced this? I can't find anything on the net.

trents,

You might have a Magnesium deficiency.

It is not uncommon to feel run down when your body can't absorb enough Magnesium.

here is the national institutes of health link about the power of Magnesium.

Open Original Shared Link

If you look at the side effects of most PPI"s they actually say this on the warning and they advertize this in the TV ads (though in small print).

After 6 months of this product you can develop a Magnesium deficiency.

Find a magnesium Citrate or Magnesium Glycinate and your body will respond with greatly improved energy levels.

Take it with each meal and at bed time for best results.

here was my experience with low stomach acid that was being diagnosed as high stomach stomach acid instead.

my GI problems greatly improved when I improved my stomach acid levels.

And my energy levels greatly improved when I found about Magnesium and it turns out they are linked.

I hope this is helpful.

There are several topics current on this board about Magnesium and it's many benefits and I am glad to see it and thank Ennis_tx for this awareness.

here is a thread ennis_tx started about  all the benefits of magnesium.

*** this is not medical advice but I hope it helps your energy levels the way it does most people when they take it (magnesium) as a Magnesium Citrate or Magnesium Glycinate.

Also see this recent (still active) thread about how to take Magnesium Citrate and some of the precautions to consider.

good luck on your continued journey.

      Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. This has been the most difficult and confusing journey to date for me, and it has been going on since 2015/2016. The last dietitian I met with works with a lot of celiac patients, so I was excited, but she just thought I should be able to eat gluten free (whatever that may be) stay in a carb count and my diabetes would not be affected. WRONG. I have tried this several times since I crossed over to full blown diabetes, because I get so sick eating gluten that I end up getting frustrated and go back to gluten free to get some relief. I have a continuous glucose monitor so it is easy to see how my body and glucose are reacting to foods...

      Just like you cannot be a little pregnant, you cannot be a little Celiac.  Here is an article I found that explains what the numbers mean. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Here is another article about the non traditional symptoms of Celiac Disease. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease? I've been taking 10,000 IU vitamin D3 since 2015.  My blood tests every 3 months for 25(OH)D have never gone above 93 ng/ml, even in the Florida summer.  70 - 100 is the body's natural homeostasis level. Surge of information on benefits of vitamin D "“When combined with supplemental magnesium, vitamin D repletion has dramatically changed my practice,” said...

      Interesting! Recent labs I had done did show that I was low in Vitamin D so I just began supplementing, it’s hard to tell so soon but it does seem to have a positive affect! Thanks for the input!

      Your frustration and exhaustion are completely valid, and many in the celiac and gluten-sensitive community can relate to the overwhelming confusion you're experiencing. You’re being pulled in different directions by medical advice that seems contradictory, and it’s heartbreaking that your efforts to feel better are met with so many setbacks. Positive TTG IgA antibodies are not something to brush off, especially when combined with your long list of debilitating symptoms that clearly worsen with gluten exposure. A negative biopsy does not necessarily mean you don’t have celiac disease—it’s entirely possible that damage was missed, especially since biopsy results can vary...

      While a definitive causal link remains unclear, vitamin D's known role in immune modulation and intestinal barrier integrity suggests that it plays a significant role in the development and progression of celiac disease.  Reduced 25(OH)D levels are associated with celiac disease.  In celiac disease, gluten can damage these tight junctions, and vitamin D may play a protective role in this context.
