Hmmm...could this explain my D streak, nausea, really evil stomach cramps since I started Nexium???

Weird. All I know is I feel pretty sick.

Kate, IBS-D.

When I took Prevacid for the first few months it didn't bother me but boy I sure had terrible D after that. The sad thing was that the doc didn't take me off of it. I found out myself about the D problem and quit taking it on my own. My acid reflux isn't that serious of a problem that I'm willing to have D instead!!

I wish I didn't have to take this Nexium.....but I'm like Kate. She once said that if she didn't take Nexium, everyday would involve vomiting. And I'm like that, now. I cannot live without the Nexium. I tried to stay off of PPI's for months......My health quickly declined...And I finally got to the point where I couldn't even eat crackers without being VIOLENTLY ILL!!! It is horrible. I am only going to stay on it until the reflux heals and then I will come off of it, but who's to say how long that's going to be???

It sucks...

I hate it that you're going through this! When I saw the article the first thing I thot was It's not fair, they find help for one symptom, and it increase the severity and violence of another!!

HUGS to you, and I hope this nasty effect tapers off...

I don't see them on the board. Is it just these three or does it include all of them. Any of the PPI's that decrease stomach acid?? I'm confused....

From what I have been able to tell, pretty much all of them have D as a potential side effect. That doesn't necessarily mean that it WILL be a side effect for a particular person since everyone's system is so different. I guess it's just a trial and error thing to find out what works best with the fewest side effects.

What symptoms does it help you with? I'm very leery of this drug and have only taken one in the past 1 1/2 month.
