The lower acidity also favors any H. pylori infection you might have (i.e. makes life easier for the pathogen). It was suggested to me that that's the main problem with antiacids and PPIs.
(IANAD. I had GERD for weeks after a surgery but avoided PPIs for this reason.)

- abecedarius 3y agoThanks -- that's good to know.
