I hope this isn't true because I have been taking 40mg omeprazole everyday for like 5 years. I would like to try to get off of them. Even with a clean diet though, I'm in pain if I miss a single dose. Thought it was interesting and would share.

Sounds like a class action lawsuit may be coming then.

I take it everyday and I always blamed my dementia on Beer ... Must be the Lansoprazole.

Sorry the article isn't working for some of you. Weird, it didn't require a login when I first found the article. A quick google search of "proton pump inhibitor dementia" will bring up lots of info on it.

Article asks me to log in too. I used to have heartburn consistently, and I tried that old wives tale of shotting apple cider vinegar... since I started eating more citrus fruits and the vinegar, I haven't had heart burn since...
