Reading this question, you have symptoms of taking PPI acid blocking drugs. A couple of the hundreds of side effects include high blood pressure and damage the kidneys which includes renal failure. Of course i am just guessing but if you are, there are major health risks from acid blocking drug. My mother took PPI’s for many years, suffered dozens of severe side effects and almost died from it.

If your high blood pressure is not from the acid blocker, then minimizing sugar and eliminating artificial flavours are very good for obtaining a relatively normal blood pressure. Replacing carbohydrates with healthy fats will also help control your blood pressure. For kidney disease, reducing salt in the diet is essential. Avoiding toxins is essential. Toxins are everywhere in a supermarket..food additives, preservatives, sodium nitrate…a long list. Check out the food additives to avoid and the kidney diet on the links below.

I did a lot of research for my mother and found nearly everyone with acid reflux has LOW stomach acid. So taking acid blockers is worsening the situation by lowering already low stomach acid and preventing absorption of nutrients. Digestive enzymes supplements (from plants) with each meal are brillant…it’s why my mother is still alive.

Throwing away the acid blocker nexium, and taking digestive enzymes (with betaine hydrochloric acid for protein meals and without for non protein meals) saw her GERD and LPR vanish within 2 weeks (after 5 years), within 3 months blood pressure was, and still is, better than optimal and gastritis 80% better so far (after 25 years). Digestive enzymes break down food so acid problems don’t occur. The betaine hydrochloric acid helps increase stomach acid and digest protein. As for gout, eat cherries, vitamin C and the herb devils claw…all help lower uric acid which causes gout.

Wow- I doubt it. I’m on Tramadol and have had drug screens in the past and it didn’t even show up at all. I’m also on antacids (actually Pepcid) for GERD so I’m in a similar situation as you. I’ve never heard of someone showing + for Amphetamines…I do know that a Vics Nasal Inhaler uses an isomer of methamphetamine that chemically is meth, but it has no CNS effects so it’s not a controlled substance…but it will still show + on a drug screen as though it was meth. Other than that, even Pseudoephedrine doesn’t show up anymore as meth so I’m at a loss as to why you failed.

I wish you well in this…post something if you find an answer…you’ve got me curious now….

Be blessed
