War is hell , just look at these faces . <| sep |> I ' m having a stomach scope done in a couple of weeks . PPIs lowered my calcium significantly and lowered my vitamin 3 to dangerous levels . I got off the PPI last spring and dealt with the horrible rebound reflux that ' s associated with ending a PPI regimen . My regular PA put me on Zantac to deal with rebound and the normal GERD symptoms . After waiting 5 months to get in to see a specialist he wants to scope first and then if it ' s good to put me back on a PPI as well as not eating past 630 pm to prevent symptoms while sleeping since my cardiac valve is blown and he said the secondary , backup , valve only holds for 2 hours . But I am worried about that very thing of brittle bones . Is there a way to supplement the calcium ?
