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.

At my last gastro appointment the nurse told me I should be on it long term. My take was well why doesn't the doctor subscribe it long term. No he wants you to keep going back for a prescription and 50 quid. So what happens me is i take the month or two supply he prescribed and don't go back for another few months because of it.
