Thanks hurdity. Yes ppis can affect absorption of vitamins and .minerals. My b12 and folate have kept going low since I went on omprazole. It's a known side effect but my doc only told me that after I'd been on it 2 years
I think I've read that It also affects the absorption of calcium carbonate.
The problem is I cant stop it as the rebound is horrendous. I have got down to every other day. Unfortunately gaviscon just doesnt touch it.
But I do know that whilst omprazole hinders the absorption of b12 from food it doesnt from supplements so hopefully that's the same for vit d.
