Memory loss is not well reported as a side effect of PPI.
Regarding the 'plastic ' thing I have never heard of it.

I don't feel like an OLD (OLD AGE is a factor)---I FEEL like I'm in my early 50's and as I said I work out at the gym!
I'm not "elderly" in most ways except arthritis! Anyway--65 is the old 45!!
I just read that they (don't know who "they" are) found the same chemical that's so harmful in plastic bottles etc. in CAPSULES that are used for PPI! Have you heard of any of this?
What about memory loss from PPI? IS it permanent or temporary?
Thank you for your first answer.
Hi,
There are case reports of osteoporosis caused by PPI.
Calicum needs acidic environment to get absorbed. PPI by suppressing the acid production changes this environment and affects the absorption of calcium resulting in osteoporosis- This is how PPI is believed to cause osteoporosis.
But in your case old age could also be a factor.
