- Description
- We note with interest two recent publications in Gut regarding alterations to the gut microbiome in individuals on proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. With PPI use, both studies observed an increase in oral bacteria in the stool. These changes overlap with those described in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. However, very little is known about the impact of this dysbiosis over the length of the GI tract, and how it may link to gut function.
