Popular heartburn drugs linked to hip fractures

[Guest guest]

Hello,

 

There is an interesting story in the media the last couple of days

concerning the treatment of ulcers and stomach inflammation with

drugs like Nexium.

 

http://www.cnn.com/2006/HEALTH/12/26/burn.bones.ap/index.html

 

My mother is taking Nexium daily for stomach inflammation. She is now

concerned and I told her I would see if any ayurvedic remedies that

exist. She is very health conscious and eats primarily vegetarian

type of diet, but eat fish. She avoids caffeine and other stomach

irritating foods. She avoids yogurt and dairy. She walks on a daily

basis and also has a meditation practice.

 

She also has osteoprosis.

 

However, we are wondering if there are any known ayurvedic

supplements that might help. Or possibly any dietary recommendations?

 

Thank you,
