Acid Reflux, or when stomach acid regurgitates in the stomach, is uncomfortable and is appearing to affect more people than ever. Over 20 percent of the U.S. population suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), severe or chronic acid reflux and many others utilize OTC proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs) like Prevacid, Nexium and Prilosec, in an effort to get relief. While PPIs were originally intended for short-term use in the treatment of stomach ulcers, many patients take them chronically. PPIs have undesirable side effects due to the fact that they decrease stomach acid levels.  Decreased stomach acid production can lead to decreased absorption of vitamin b12
