OTC meds for acid reflux linked to depression – Proton Pump Inhibitors

One of the quickest ways to initiate depression physiologically is to destroy your intestinal microbiota and block your body’s ability to utilize nutrients. Medications for acid reflux do just that.

The study’s comparative analysis looked at 2,366 patients […]
