About ppi and disadvantage

Question

Asked for Female, 26 Years

I had gastritis issues for the past 5 years. I took many ppi that time. Now I am facing indigestion and stomach pain after eating. Is it because of the prolonged use of ppi. If so can I go for enzyme deficiency test and taking pre and probiotics for sometime. Will ppi interfere with our gut flora and enzymes? Please guide. Because I don't have ulcers in my stomach now.
