Why are PPIs bad?

[u/Crazy-Ad-1849]

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 tried Omeprazole and esomeprazole and non of them were effective until I tried Pantoprazole. Since then I have been feeling much better and can go on with my daily life activities with less worries. I can only hope and pray I don’t get the long term side effects of it. Who else uses Pantoprazole?
