Got Nexium, Got Prilosec?

Not sure why I dropped out for 2 months, but I'm back. So how many of you are on the purple pill as it has been advertised? Well the FDA put a warning about all of the proton pump inhibitors used to control heart burn/acid reflux. Turns out they were never intended to be used for more than 2 weeks at a time and chronic use places you at an increased risk for fractures (hip, wrist, spine). WOW what a trade off your acid reflux for a hip fracture. If you are on these come in and see me or call or write, it can totally be fixed with nutrition.
