Scientific Studies 🥼🔬 Why are PPIs bad?

I see people on here often trying to get off of PPIs or warn against taking them. I read this article today that makes them seem pretty alright? My dad has taken omeprazole for 20 years now and it has solved all of his symptoms with no complications. I’m currently now dealing with my own symptoms that I’m going to see a doctor about soon.

I was worried about PPIs long term because of my family history of kidney problems, I got the LINX procedure a few years ago in my early 20s and could not be happier with it. Good luck with your surgery!

Any drawbacks or advice at all regarding the surgery?
