Just a few things proton pump inhibitor can do to us.
* Impaired synthesis of biological proteins including enzymes and hormones. The gastric enzyme pepsin is vital to protein digestion. The hormones insulin and glucagon regulate blood sugar, thyroxin regulates the body's metabolic rate, calcitonin and parathyroid hormone regulation, bone mineralization, and antidiuretic hormone regulates fluid electrolyte balance (the vital acid/base balance of cellular mineral salts including calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, chloride, phosphorus, bicarbonate, sulfates, protein and organic acids)
* Food allergies and leaky gut syndrome caused by incomplete protein digestion
* Calcium deficiency accompanied by abnormal bone mineralization
* Iron deficiency with risk for anemia
* Zinc deficiency with risk for impaired immune function
* Folate deficiency with risk for large cell anemia, elevated homocysteine levels and neurological dysfunction
* Vitamin B12 deficiency with risk for pernicious anemia, large cell anemia and neurological dysfunction and asthma in children
