This Natural Solution to Acid Reflux Is Safer
and Less Expensive Than Antacids

PPIs may relieve your heartburn and other symptoms, but they have side effects you want to avoid.

me of the side effects from PPIs are merely uncomfortable and annoying, like headaches, diarrhea, constipation, and nausea. Others are more serious, like pneumonia, arthritis, kidney inflammation, osteoporosis, and hip fractures. Don’t exchange one health problem for another.
