Steph, I wish I knew what to say!
I'm so sorry that you suffer so needlessly. I wish there were a drug out there that was cost effective (not to mention effective & without undesirable side effects).
I tried Losec (big time D!!!) Ditto with Nexium. Both actually made me worse! Actually, Nexium gave me worse D by far, not to mention headaches. Plus there is information coming out that PPI's actually block nutrient absorption. Now, I just do it by (usually) 'smart' food choices as well Pepto &
Maalox kind of stuff as needed. Actually Nexium started giving me the heaves so maybe I was having an allergic reaction or something/side effect. Losec gave me the worst case of fluid retention/bloating--literally a belly! It made me look like a pregnant skeleton. It gave me tons of back pain, too.
So, I don't know what to say beyond EMPATHY & HUGS & I'm clueless, too.
Kate, IBS-D.
