A causal link. What you posted is compelling however it's just correlation.
Are you eating right before bed time ?
I'm always eating, bro.

The study examined medical records of over ten thousand patients taking PPI's like nexium who were followed for an average of more than 13 years
that showed a 20 to 50% increased risk of chronic kidney disease
No alarm bells going off there ?
I don't understand why it's this difficult for people to learn new things. You clearly don't know how to interpret data. It's obvious. So why not accept the flaw, learn, and become a more valuable member? Nope, instead you try to defend yourself and deflect. I don't understand.Which was my response to Doc not POB since we are talking about getting facts straight and interpreting with precision
I had horrible reflux for a period of time, which completely went away when i stopped drinking beer �� every day with dinner.. It also started to come back when i started trying to drink beer again.
In general i think it's worth experimenting with eliminating things from your diet before turning to meds. I found my reflux triggers seem to be beer, too much tomato sauce, and curry.
For the last three posts, it is pretty well known that mint, caffeine, nicotine and alcohol all relax the cardiac sphincter. That's the sphincter between your stomach and esophagus. Thus the after dinner mint, or drink, or cigarrete (Or chew) or cup of coffee. This leads to a feeling of less fullness. And also to reflux.
I am gonna wind up with throat cancer from this shit.
It's typically not eating that does it for me. I don't get normal feelings of hunger. I get heartburn first. So I eat. And what I eat makes no difference. When I was a moron and thought "eating clean" was a thing and all I ate was boiled chicken breast brown rice broccoli egg whites oats sweet potatoes and cottage cheese (seriously for 2 years that's all I ate) i still had heartburn throughout the day.

Back on the ignore list you go. Not your fault Z, you are who you are, it just saves me from wasting time in the future
Fortunately alcohol also relaxes the wife's other sphincter.
I do not and never have....thank god
That's disappointing to hear
Something to keep in mind. The primary purpose of proton pump inhibitors (omeprazole and nexium) is to decrease the acidity of the stomach not to prevent reflux per se. Please keep this in mind. This is very important though, because it mitigates the damaging effects of that acidic reflux. Untreated, that acid can lead to a number of problems, like Barretts esophagus which is a precancerous condition. So whichever way you wish to interpret the data in the article in the OP, the risks of not taking a proton pump inhibitors far outway the risks of taking one. So feel free to interpret how you will. I would post a bunch of literature but I am off to anesthetize yet another patient for an EGD for reflux.
