I've Been Taking Prilosec 20mg Qd 25 Years.(prescribed By Dr.

I've been taking Prilosec 20mg qd 25 years.(prescribed by dr. And primary dr. Continues). Recently I read PPIs cause dementia and kidney disease by your website and others. Thus I'm trying to discontinue use as my mother had Alzheimer's and I've had cancer/melanoma stage 3B 3years ago. My liver count is watched. What do you recommend--using tums and club soda. I took Prilosec q o day 1 mo, then stopped2wks ago.
