Avatar f tn My doctor took a guess at my symptoms and suspected an ulcer so she put me on a three week trial of a PPI named Dexilant and told me to come back in 3 weeks to see if it helps. She also ran an H.Pylori breath test, full hematology profile along with ferritin and an AST/ ALT panel which all came out perfect with no sign of H.Pylori. My question is do you believe that this is indeed a stomach ulcer?
Avatar n tn The only medication she started around that time was Dexilant 60mg. There is no history of heart problems but there are digestive issues. In april she had some bloodwork done and then again this month. We are thinking that she has symptoms of anemia but the doctors are saying its nothing too serious. Could the symptoms be caused by Dexilant? If so, how long until the Dexilant is out of her system (I mean if she would go off of it.) Also, is this bloodwork indicative of Iron deficiency anemia?
Avatar f tn Someone in my family is experiencing a lot of pain and burping at the same time. The pain is on the side of her neck and is constantly burping don't know why but she's been to the ER to the regular doctor and her appointment with the GI Doctor is a month away. The doctor has prescribed Dexilant but it hasn't worked and has been 3 days. Does anyone have any idea of what this could be and why it's causing her so much pain?
Avatar f tn By mid August 2021 everything went back to normal, I ate what i wanted and still took dexilant until my insurance said dexilant was going to cost more so I started taking omeprazole 20 milligrams in late 2021. Still everything was going great then in March 2022 I went to my doctor and started only taking it three times then two times a week. Eventually I stopped taking it all together in Jan. 2023 I had no problems at all.

Avatar f tn It took years, but in 2012 I had an upper endoscopy and was diagnosed with bile reflux, due to the large pool of bile that was seen in my stomach. Since then, I have been on Dexilant, 60mg. Last week, I had what I call a flare up of my reflux. It always starts as extreme upper abdomen pain accompanied by constant belching. These flare ups typically last a day or so.
Avatar n tn Could the symptoms be caused by Dexilant? If so, how long until the Dexilant is out of her system (I mean if she would go off of it.) Also, is this bloodwork indicative of Iron deficiency anemia? B12? or what is anyone's thoughts based on the bloodwork. I will be writing two numbers the first one is the blood work from April, the second is the recent bloodwork. RBC: 4.29 3.88 Hemoglobin: 12.4 11.4 Hematocrit: 39.3% 35.
Avatar m tn I have been on a PPI (Dexilant) ever since then, and periodically have attempted to wean myself off of this drug since I understand that long term use is not recommended. I have tried apple cider vinegar, even several times a day, but every time I have been forced to go back to the Dexilant. In fact my acid reflux has been so severe that even after going back on the medication my esophagus feels raw for a few days even though I am not experiencing acid reflux.
Avatar n tn I was put on 60 mg. of dexilant(the newest PPi drug) which really did stop the gnawing pain and acid. However after 60 days I am terribly nauseated, dizzy, lightheaded, have a headache and anxiety and a pulsing in my right ear.And taste the dexilant. I have tried to go off dexliant and switch to zantac but within 2 days the acid taste starts to come back. Am I getting acid rebound - how do I get off dexilant? Why would H pylori be in my stool and not in my stomach?
Avatar m tn Hello, I am taking a very low dose of nefazodone because I'm prone to having serious side effects from most meds, especially anti-depressants. When I increased to 75 mg and then 100 mg, I started to have horrible acid reflux. I'm currently taking Dexilant in combination with Carafate and, as needed Zantac, to try to control the reflux. I'm still experiencing serious discomfort until several hours after taking nefazodone.
Avatar m tn I have lost 52 lbs, had an abdominal ultrasound(revealed tiny gallstones but they didnt seem worried about it), upper endoscopy (showed mild gastritis and a spasm of my valve), barium swallow study was next (totally normal, they didnt see the spasm), HIDA scan (showed deficient emptying of gallbladder, but they said it wasnt bad -although I didnt get a percentage), CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis which was normal and bloodwork which was pretty normal as well.
Avatar m tn I then had the 48 hour bravo and the manometry (both also normal). The surgery was canceled, so I continued to take dexilant. I had a endoscopy preformed in 2010 which was also normal. I made many changes including weight loss and exercise which helped. I was pretty much symptom free for almost a year until April of this year when I got the stomach flu. Since then my symptoms have returned along with my anxiety. My G.

1295419 tn?1276822872 So, my GI wanted to treat me for reflux and put me on Dexilant 60 mg once/day. This would also heal the erosion to my esophagus. She wanted me to stay on it for 2-3 months and then get a Barium Swallow done. If all looked clear, she wanted me to stop taking it. I told her I wasn't comfortable with that because how was I supposed to know if my esophagus started to get damaged again?
Avatar m tn I was on aciphex for years because of gerd but was switched to dexilant for gastritis. Ive recently stopped taking the dexilant and am trying bentyl 4x a day but so far no changes. i am very regular with my bowel movements (once a day) so i dont see how it could be ibs.
Avatar n tn I started having symptoms of feeling full and bloating in my stomach about 3 months ago (early May 2012) and have been on Dexilant since early May 2012 and Nexium prior to that for several years. I still feel miserable and the only thing my doc said was to continue the Dexilant and he would see me on 6 weeks. I am a otherwise healthy 38 y/o F, I don't smoke, I watch my diet and exercise . I am at my wits end! Please advise.

Avatar m tn trigger foods and my relief. I take dexilant, which seems to help on some days. For a fact I cant eat tomatoes or sauce, But i can eat pizza. Coffee will do it on an empty stomach, Donuts. Onions. even watermelon gives me heartburn sometimes, But thats really alkaline? But here is the thing, When I do have heartburn. I can drink Tabasco sauce, ( a drop) or eat some Hot Red peppers and instantly my pain goes away after a couple of burps. Tums rarely work.
Avatar m tn I was diagnosed with GERD about 9 months ago and placed on 60 mg of Dexilant once a day. It has worked wonders; my symptoms completely disappeared. I also began a probiotic yogurt at the same time: Cascade Farms Activ8. My problem is: I had a flare up that began on Wed night last week and lasted off and on for 4 days, until Saturday. It was basically rapid-fire burping accompanied by gas pains - a stitch in my side that got better when I burped.
1391312 tn?1421086993 Well the DR put me on Dexilant a newer PPI and Zantac 150mg 2 X a day.....He said it was really bad in there, he thinks it's due to this stress over the HCV & other family issues. I asked him about the Riba and Reflux he said I would not know if that would be a problem for me unless I started on it.---Same answer for Riba-Rage.--It's like a dog chasing it's tail, talking to him. I see another Dr. on Thursday, that question will be on the list.
