I had some one tell me that Dr Google says that Protein Pump Inhibits can cause Osteoporosis. I wish people would get their medical info from MD's and not the Internet

If you don't like Dr. Google and Dr. Youtube, just wait till you meet Dr. AI.

Actually, I think that is correct. Ask your doctor or pharmacist.

What have you read and where?

There are many studies on protein pump inhibitors and osteoporosis.  They're one of the most widely-prescribed drugs today.

Never mind.  Sorry I said anything.

From Mayo Clinc Dot Com a well repected medical organization

Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle — so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses such as bending over or coughing can cause a break. Osteoporosis-related breaks most commonly occur in the hip, wrist or spine.

Bone is living tissue that is constantly being broken down and replaced. Osteoporosis occurs when the creation of new bone doesn't keep up with the loss of old bone.

Osteoporosis affects people of all races. But women who are white or of Asian descent, especially older women who are past menopause, are at highest risk. Medicines, healthy diet and weight-bearing exercise can help prevent bone loss or strengthen already weak bones.

My rheumatologist told me that is true. They cause osteoporosis in some individuals.
