...with IBS as our systems over-react to all stimuli. Do a search for more posts on this.

...I'm off meds atm (had another course of PPIs earlier this year) and as long as I'm not too silly (big glass of OJ on an empty tum silly!  ) I'm okay.
You'll get there!

how do you know that cleanses are dangerous? personal experience? I can't find anything on the web that says they are dangerous for people w/ IBS- it only says its supposed to help.

Yea, stay away from OJ on an empty tummy!! That hurts just thinking about it, too!!! 
I have only been on this Nexium for 3 weeks, so I'm sure it will take awhile, but it's getting better. Little by Little.....Doesn't it suck having all this on top of IBS???  And you have Fibro, too???
I'm sorry, hon!!  I feel bad for you!! But, you're tough!  I can tell that you don't let any of it drag you down! Go Girl!
*HUGS*!!

With cleanses, you should go slower at first to see how your system reacts. Whenever anyone does any kind of cleanse, the body will experience what is called a Herxheimer Reaction, and this is actually good for your body although you won't think so at the time. Here's a link that better explains it. Please read all the way to the bottom because it says what to do incase it feels like it's too much to take.

Michelle--I'm still at the stage where even garlic or onion powder really triggers reflux. The smell of onion/garlic cooking gives me rude heartburn.
I lucked out--my M.D. passed me 7 packages of Nexium samples, today (i.e. 7 X 14 doses/package).
Kate.
