The problem with PPIs is they stop/slow the production of acid - which then allows bad bacteria (like Candida/h.pylori) to proliferate (which then causes other problems, like IBS - and also spreads to other organs like the gall-bladder etc). Many doctors now think you actually need the opposite - more acid by eating a vegetable rich diet perhaps with some mineral rich pink salt (at least in the case of Ulcers) or even taking some beta hydrochloride (obviously with caution).
The first thing I'd suggest is a test for H.Pylori - it is said to infect over 50% of us, and is the likely cause for ulcers.
I've nursed thousands of people on PPI's who have suffered no ill effects, of course there will always be a percentage of people where this isn't the case, but I think it's better to take advice from your Doctor than any studies/opinions that may not be correctly critically anslysed.

And sometimes ridiculous full feeling after only a couple of pints.
Was sick one morning and old blood was present(coffe grounds)
finally went for a Gastroctomy ( camera down)
Found a sliding hernia.
Given Lanzasoprole and been fine since.
Camera check up every 2 years and diagnosed as having Barretts Syndrome.
Could be totally harmless could lead to Cancer of the gullet.

I was given Lanzaprazole. It was after i'd been eventually diagnosed with GORD although I'd had a low grade chronic stomachpain for about 3 years, mostly in the afternoons and evenings. It was making me pretty crotchety.
The PPI made me feel as if I'd eaten a huge 10 course meal - it was just awful
I felt so full but I had only eaten a normal meal.
Long story short, I could not live like that and put myself on an exclusion diet (via a book from the health shop). Found out the problems were barleycup, chocolate and coffee so I now have those very sparingly and no longer have the stomach pains.
Three years of pain that it took a simple exclusion diet to sort out. A diet that took only 3 weeks to prepare for and gradual reintroduction of foods took a few more weeks.

one os for the side effect of other medicines on the stomach
and also for gastric reflux issues. the health service could save a fortune by getting to the root cause which is normally diet, rather than prescribing meds
