I have been researching hair loss causes and found a correlation between inadequate protein absorption and inadequate stomach acid needed to breakdown protein. Found several articles. Seems reasonable that this would be an issue with sleevers and our hair loss problem. There are supplements to correct this but my question is that I also have mild Barretts Esophagaus and take a PPI. So does that increase my inability to absorb protein? Would the HCL Pepsin supplement be contra-indicated? I can't find any health professionals with knowledge on this. Any help?
