    PPIs can stop you absorbing vitamins so it could be you are a little deficient. Get some multivitamin and mineral tablet and take 1 every day to see if it helps. Get a tongue scraper and use it every morning and evening after brushing see if it clears up. It maybe that you have h pylori have you been tested for this? Did you have a gastroscopy before going on the ppis?
