Sixty to seventy percent of adults use acid-suppressing medications, but they impair protein digestion and can increase inflammation and gas. These drugs interact with other medications like GLP-1 agonists, yet doctors rarely ask about them.
60–70% of adults.
So I can't think of like a better example than the fact that you know something like 60 to 70% of adults are using some version of an acid suppressing medication. They're using the medication or an over the counter. That's a crazy number when you then think about those people. At bare minimum, the practitioners or if they're buying a GLP1 Agonist online. They're not even asking that question. So what we're, and then we're telling them on top of it. And so I wanted to go with your particular expertise to eat more protein. What happens when you eat more protein in a system where gastric emptying is delayed or where you're suppressing stomach acid? And we now have inappropriate or insufficient breakdown of the protein and now we have more inflammation and we have more smelly gas and we have more, I mean, disruption to the small intestine and the microbiome. You see how this is a recipe for disaster.
