Hi All

As an acid reflux sufferer, with osteoporosis and lower back fractures, the following warning got my attention.

http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/ ... 213377.htm

A couple of years ago a fundoplication failed. I am now going through the process of trying to get the operation repeated, hopefully this time by someone more competent than the last time.

cheers

Mars

Thanks for the info. Been using these for years. No bone problems yet.

The thing is that people taking arthritis meds have to take these all the time to protect their stomachs from the side effects of the arthritis meds. I've been using them for years because of my arthritis.

One set of possible problems has to be traded for another set of possible problems!

I wonder when we will start seeing lawyers on TV asking to represent people that had bone problems while on the PPI drugs. Gotta happen.
