I'm dealing with IBS and every night I feel really bloated. My doctor told me to take Unienzyme three times a day, but I'm still having this issue. Is it safe for me to try the 222 tablet instead? I'm just trying to figure out how to get some relief.

View allI've been on these PPI meds for over a year now - dexlansoprazole 60mg daily, esomeprazole 40mg daily, and levosulpiride 75mg daily - but I'm still dealing with acid reflux, esophagitis, and gastritis. What are the long-term side effects of staying on PPIs this long? Is it safe to keep taking them beyond a year? Are there any surgical options that could help cure this instead? I can share my endoscopy report if needed.
Long-term PPI use is generally safe but may cause low magnesium, B12 deficiency, and gut flora changes. Surgery (like Nissen) may help if you're not responding. Share endoscopy for detailed advice.
