I don't believe there's any problem with PPI. This is because it's been both ok to use SN with and without antacids, for example. They both work. And other than that, SN completely floods your system if you take the right dose, so can't have meaningful interactions with medication. The only thing you don't want to do is take medication that makes you feel more sick than SN.

There are articles here stating to be off ppi 2 weeks... that low acid will not mix well with sn and just not work right...........
I feel ppi ruined my gut now it's preventing me from ctb. It causes low acid then you can't digest food well then malabsorption and for me pain.

Proton pump inhibitors, they reduce the amount of acid your stomach produces, they are used for gastritis and stomach ulcers.

This is an older article, about 3 years old of a man who died from SN with some autopsy photos so if you are queasy about seeing them do not look:

Also worth mentioning: He was taking 3 different antidepressants so this show that even with psychiatric help, sometimes it just doesn't work.

When you dump SN into stomach acid, which is hydrochloric acid, it generates nitric oxide which can give the headache. I'm not sure why it's not now recommended to take PPIs.
