nexium and iron supplements

She was on acid blockers for 25 years (tagament for 20 years, nexium for 5 years and also took gaviscon for 10 years). I took my mother off nexium and gaviscon cold turkey and started digestive enzyme supplements and betaine HCI with pepsin supplements in their place. She never got worse only better. She no longer suffers GERD, LPR and is 95% improved with gastritis. If you don't want to go cold turkey you could try taking digestive enzyme supplements and wean off nexium more slowly.

s has healed completely, but I am concerned that continued use of Nexium may result in loss of bone and eventual hip fracture. I take calcum, vitamin D, (and other supplements) and exercise regularly, but I can feel my bones "thinning down" (fingers and toes). Is there anything else I should be doing to keep my bone strength up?

Low stomach acid reduces absorption of nutrients such as iron, B12, folate, calcium and zinc; affects digestion of protein, carbohydrates and fat; and increases the risk of bacterial overgrowth and fungal infections. I posted a lot of info on another thread about reflux and treatment options: http://www.medhelp.

Many vitamins and supplements can cause damage to the liver depending on the dose. One study in the USA found that up to one third of the patients in a liver clinic used herbal remedies. One of the most hepatotoxic vitamins is Vitamin A and anyone taking vitamin A supplements should be aware that doses higher than 25,000 IU (international units) per day may be dangerous. Most multivitamin preparations contain 4,000 IU vitamin A, which is well within the safety range.

My doctors want me to take Iron Supplements so I got them... it's Ferrous sulfate 325 mg. They are little round blackish greenish pills. I have taken the for three days and have cramping and gas. It says on a website I read that You can get cramping , gas, Nausea, constipation in the first couple days as your body gets used to the medication. Do you think that this is all this cramping is caused from? I haven't had cramps my whole pregnancy so far...

0 so I had to get several transfusions which only brought it up to like 9. I then was put on a prescription iron pill and I ate a lot of red meat which helped bring it back to like 12. Without the transfusion I'd have been dead so it was pretty scary. Anyway talk to your doctor but if you take an iron pill make sure it's iron plus vitamin c because the vitamin c is needed to absorb it just like you need vitamin d to absorb calcium.

Either over The counter iron pills Or look up What food u can eat That's high in iron and If Ur able to keep It down Just make a iron rich diet. I was severely anemic, went to hospital and found that out. They gave me iron pills, with phenergen because id get nauseous and stool softeners because id get constipation.

Did iron suppliments make you nauseous? My buddy is already in starvation mode, but I also just found out I'm anemic and the iron pills are making me really nauseous. Any suggestions? 35 weeks.

Most iron supplements aren't actually absorbed very well and can cause constipation. The most well absorbed iron supplement most recommend is plant based Floradix, a liquid. (I think they also make a pill form). I'd try that.

For those of you who have to take iron supplements, what time of day is best to take them? My doctor told me to start taking them because of iron deficiency but he didn't say when to take them. I've seen online it's best to take on an empty stomach with orange juice or vitamin c... I have to take my prenatals before bed or they'll make me sick and I've heard iron tablets can make your stomach hurt.

Yes. I'm taking a brand of iron supplements called Ferrosequals thats easy on the stomach and doesnt cause constipation. My hemoglobin was on the low side and its important take your iron because you dont want to bleed too much during labor.

m currently taking vita fushion prenatal vitamins but they are chewables. They are great but are lacking iron. Do you ladies know of any iron supplements that are chewable? And where can I buy them?

Hello all its been a while but still here. Congrats to everyone who has slayed the DRAGON and never give up for the ones just starting. My question is I finally achieved SVR after 24 months of SOVALDI & RIBA have been good for over a year, my IRON is low, is it safe to take a IRON supplement or would that be to hard on my LIVER. Thanx for any input.. God bless everyone ...

After that he prescribed me with Nexium, Prilosec and that was it. I was ok for a month or so and then I developed constipation. So I was switching from diarrea to constipation on and off. The burping continue and it seems to happend before I get my period. Is 5:41 am and I got up because of gas in my stomach and diarrea. I haven't being able to have a deasent night of sleep for the past 4 days. That happens every month. And I just don't know what to do.

Hey guys what are some good brands of prenatals and iron supplements I can take together from walmart?

I have also recently had low folate and iron. I went back to the doctor in February, they changed my medication and said it was a gastritis flare up, well I have had gastritis for a while and never had these additional symptoms, just the same ones I had for GERD. The new medicine is not helping any and I am miserable. I hate to wake up in the morning because I am constantly in pain and uncomfortable and I hate going to work because of the burping and how I feel.

Hence if B12 is normal, test for iron. Also once you start Vti D and folic acid supplements it will be sometime before you really feel normal again. You can take Vit B12 supplements or a multivitamin B12 supplement and see. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

My main worry was that I wanted to try it again but was afraid that with all the supplements and then the nexium and levo that it might not be a good thing?

She went through this about a year and half ago after taking 65 mg of ferrous sulfate 3x per day. At that time, she began getting chronic diarrhea and had stomach pain. They stopped the iron and put her on 3 different probiotics, as well as a rice drink. It worked very well, but eventually the iron deficiency came back, and they put her on an iron supplement called Chromagen, which also worked very well as far as bring her hemoglobin and ferriten levels up.

The profound hypochlorhydria induced by proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) may impair the gastrointestinal absorption of nonheme iron, a process that is dependent on an acidic environment. The interaction was suspected in two patients with iron deficiency anemia due to gastrointestinal blood loss that were unresponsive to oral iron replacement therapy, even after the bleeding had apparently stopped. Both patients had been on omeprazole for six months while being treated with ferrous sulfate.

One is called Easy Iron and the other one is called Gentle Iron. There is a high dose chelated iron from Soloray that is 50 iu. I had the same problems when I tried to take prescription iron supplements. Both kinds made me feel sick. I did much better on the chelated iron. Ask your doctor about the recommended amount to take. If you're anemic, you may be told to take the 50 mg dosage of chelated iron. That's what was recommended that I do when I was iron deficient anemic.

I started taking over-the-counter Nexium (esomeprazole magnesium 20mg/capsule) a few days ago and may be taking them for at least the next 2 weeks. My blood magnesium levels were low a few weeks ago and they just got back to normal right before I started taking the Nexium. I've been taking Naxium in the evening (4-5pm) at least an hour before having dinner.
