nexium and probiotics

Nexium eats your calcium, my bones have started to feel like they ache so I started drinking almond milk and drink protein shakes to get the probiotics I need to help the acid and help me eat. My body aches, bones do, and I'm worried that I could developed a type of bone cancer. I didn't ask my mom because she thinks my anxiety screws me in the head makes me worry about 'stupid' stuff.. I just need to know.. Thank you.

Hi. Has anyone ever had any success using probiotics for acid reflux and if so, which one should I try? I’ve been taking the prescription form of Nexium for a long time now and lately it doesn’t seem to be helping.

Do not take Cipro with calcium, milk, yogurt, probiotics or with Nexium (which contains magnesium). Cipro is a quinalone, and is effective against mycobacteria, which don't have cell walls, but is not effective against other many strains of bacteria. The taking of an anti-viral is a mixed blessing. Go to the FDA site for information on Valtrex. A culture should have been taken, but this isn't done very often these days.

She has been diagnosed with radiation enteritis. Is presently on Nexium following a bout of vomiting and diarrhea, weight loss. She has had endoscopy, colonoscopy and a capsule study all of which revealed irritation and inflammation, no strictures. She has been following the standard radiation enteritis diet.

I was taking Nexium for 7 years and my GERD was getting worst but after 2 weeks of taking Isotonix® Digestive Enzyme with Probiotics my problem has been almost completely resolved. Only when I have supper very late and I do not take enzymes I have some problems otherwise I do not have to take anything. Nexium has some side effects as every drug and I do recommend looking for alternaive solutions.

My problem lasted about 2 weeks. Sometimes I wonder if any other treatment has such changing side effects.

I am a 55 year old woman and I was diagnosed with GERD in 2002 and have been on Nexium all this time. I am concerned about the long term use of taking Nexium for this length of time and have recently went off of it and am trying more natural/holistic things. The heartburn is back along with sour burps and I get some relief from aloe vera but I noticed that I get really hungry a lot sooner than before but I get full quickly.

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?

I have used many including nexium and omeprazole. As you said they work by shutting off acid pumps in the stomach so how is your food going to be digested? So I am basically looking for other cures these days..currently I am using apple cider vinegar, digestive enzymes and acidophillus(probiotics). I think i dont have normal acid reflux since i have never experienced heartburn and usually have a feeling of a lump stuck in my throat...which makes me believe that i have LPR.

he might want to try a otc ppi, like nexium or prilosec and see if it helps more, it takes time to heal, months, if no enough he might have to see a dr for a prescription.

I've been told and am using Probiotics yogurt etc and am now on Nexium 40mg twice a day. On my biospy in 2011 for Stomach Antrum biopsy even though it said Antral Type Mucosa w/Regenerative Changes it was "No H. Pylori-Like Organisms Identified" But the Barrett's is at the junction, different place.

but I still had the symptoms ie. painfull stomach and small intestine, and acid reflux. Now I am on antiboitics and feel much better. Could be you have the same thing. I don't think anyone should suffer with gerd. I believe it is a symptom because acid reflux is caused by the stomach not being able to move the food and acid along the digestive track. Good luck.

I was on 60-80mg of Nexium and after about 3 years of going through a lot of tests and alternatives I ended up having the Nissen Fundoplication on the 8th of Feb. 2012 and due to the longstanding GERD I have long segment of Barrets and damage to UES muscle. What type of tests have you undergone so far?

Hello everyone! I m 23 years old. since 2 years now I have bad breath. I visited dentists and gastroenterology docs as well. they took my blood and tested for h. pylori which was (Negative). Then did EGD (endoscopy) which was normal too. Gave me few medis like "NEXIUM" "PRO BALANCE" and few more which dint work atol. I dnt smoke or drink. I have improper eating and sleeping habits. I drink lots of tea and coffee.

First of all I was unclear. She has not had surgery, not a good candidate was what I meant to say.recent probiotics hurt more than help. No recent pH testing but more nexium helps and less is way bad. I'm not looking for diagnosis, she has GI docs but they mainly shrug. The usual last resorts, carafate no help, Pepto Biz, helps a little. This is an esophagus that closes when it should open and opens when it should close stuck on a big twisted Hiatal Hernia.

I found when I got the the stage where I was taking my GERD meds every other day, on the day I was not taking it, I took the probiotics and slowly added the probiotics and took away the GERD meds....this was with my Drs help....so do seek this help from them.

Stay away from foods like chili, tomatoes (sauce included), tea, coffee, gluten, dairy. All of these are stomach irritants. Avoid them, take the probiotics, and see if it helps at all.

When I was taking probiotics (might go back on them) I took my Levoxyl in the morning and took my whole slew of medications (including the probiotics) one hour later. I used OrthoMolecular probiotics.

I have, the last to years, had mysterious issues with my stomach/gut-brain system. It all started for about 2 years ago when I had a stomach virus or something similar; feeling queezy, severe pain in the abdomen nausea and vomiting one time. Before that day, I was dedicated in lifting weights and grew a lot of muscle mass and I could eat all day with the biggest appetite (5000kcal pr. day).

My doctor prescribed me Nexium 40mg each day and it helped with the stomach acid (the burning, the liquid in the throat feeling) but it did not help with the stomach spasms, the cramping, and the gagging. I'm not sure whether this is brought on by the medication but I've been feeling lightheaded and on occasions, feel like I'm really going to pass out. I am hoping to get some opinions on what's causing these problems and whether I should be taking something other than Nexium.

nexium zantac are what I took and probiotics. there are prebiotics also like jerusalem artichokes and digestive enzymes.

I apologize in advance for the long post but I want to give the full details in hopes of finding some answers. Back in December, I finally broke down and had an upper endoscopy done. I had been suffering with difficulty swallowing for nearly two years, but had been terrified of the endoscopy and convinced myself the trouble swallowing was anxiety related. I was diagnosed with Grade 2 esophagitis and gastritis, as well as an esophageal ulcer and 2 stomach ulcers.

Take it at a different time than your Nexium. Also, consume probiotics, which is Acidophilus milk or Activia yogurt for two weeks, or in health food stores they have it in pill form, "Pearls," I think they call it, which helps break down waste... since gallbladder may not be working exactly right, then probiotics will kind of work like bile. Keep in mind gas buildup really hurts, thus your symptoms.

I tried a 2 week eliminate all fats diet, I tried 2 weeks with no dairy, 2 weeks with no sugar. I take vitamins and probiotics. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

I went to the doctor yet again, and she ordered HIV test and ECG which all said I am good. The doctor then prescribed Antacid, immunobiotics and probiotics for me. The drugs did not work and, while the palpitations subsided, the pain radiated to the chest, below my breastbone, and both arms. I was then referred to a Gastroenterologist. The specialist prescribed tests mainly abdominal scan, blood test, HiV test, and stool test for me.
