Nexium constipation

Common Questions and Answers about Nexium constipation

nexium

Avatar m tn The last year it has gotten worse where I occasionally wake up with back and throat pain but it is quickly resolved by getting up, moving around and taking tums. I have been to many gastro dr.s, have been on nexium and zantac and am mostly constipated (wondering if I have IBS-C?) For some reason, I am petrified of having pancreatic cancer and worry that the back pain could be this.
Avatar m tn p. suggested trying (Nexium) - Esomeprazole 20mg instead, with the instruction that if there was a temporary flare up, - double the dose. After several months this infrequent chest pain, accompanied by bloating, sore stomach and not too much reflux has become very intrusive and the pain worse, often improved by some food! Could the Nexium be too powerful after time and be a trouble maker? has anyone experience, please? I have had "Pylori" test, endoscopy etc.
Avatar f tn I have pain in the place where my Esophagus and Stomach meet and I get heart burn, bloating and constapation. My Doctor has me on Nexium 40 mil. twice a day and I still suppliment with tums. Will a colon cleanse solve my problem? I am desparate to feel normal again.
Avatar m tn I have been taking nexium for the past few months due to gerd. I also wonder how it works.
Avatar n tn Sorry if this is a dumb question, but, what is APD? Nexium is used for acid reflux/GERD. What are your actual thyroid hormone levels? Your symptoms could also be those of being over medicated with the carbimazole. Fatigue, constipation and GERD are all symptoms of hypothyroidism. If you have current thyroid hormone levels, please post them for members to better assess your situation.

Avatar f tn I have been sick for almost 3 months now. I have had naseau but no vomitting. I haven't had diareaha or constipation, however sometimes when I eat I feel I need to go to the bathroom right then. My upper abdomen constantly feels like there is pressure in it, almost like I have to burp, but burping does nothing. I have indigestion for hours after eating. I have had a CT scan, an ultra sound, and numerous blood tests done and all came back normal.
Avatar f tn It’s an acute symptom since I have never noticed them. Actually after 2 weeks of Nexium ( to treat reflux ) that I first notice the spasms/ Myoclonus... I’ve seen a lot of you tibe videos and doesn’t look like seizures, it’s more like jerking arms and legs, mildly. Please help us.
Avatar n tn prilosec, nexium) is magnesium deficiency. Constipation, anxiety, depression, IBS are just a few of the many symptoms of magnesium deficiency. Check out the article: How your antacid drug is making you sick (Part A) by Chris Kresser.

Still the sensation of sqeezing in stomach, heart or chest pain existed and still continuing.Endoscopy and Colono scopy were done and everything looked normal. Continuing Nexium treatment.Fatty liver and fatty pancreas diagnosed. 2014 March - Endoscopy, CT Scan and Ultra sound were done.Results say Gastric antrum mild chronic inflammation, fatty liver and pancreas.
Avatar f tn He reckons my stomach lining is inflamed due to much acid and put me on nexium 40 for 2 weeks and then on nexium 20. As I got pain I took a 40 instead of 20 yesterday and expierienced side affects pretty civir: nausea, digestion 3 times worse then before, gas, headaches. I was relieved after going to toilet. Today I didn't take any and got a different brand of 20mg anti acid over the counter as my doctor is on holidays till next week, which I took now. I am seeing a specialist next week.
Avatar m tn Hi, other than the gas do you have any other problems like diarrhea or constipation. Your symptoms could be due to gastroenteritis, which is infection of the intestines. Amoebiasis is another infection, which can cause similar symptoms. Other common causes are constipation and indigestion. Some inflammatory bowel diseases like diverticulitis and crohn’s disease can produce similar symptoms. Here the walls of the intestines are swollen.
Avatar m tn well since then my stomach has been out of whack, the last yr i have lost 50 plus lbs i have chronic gas and pain when i eat i get these pains in my chest about 1 to 2 hrs after i eat there are sharp and suddle, i am on a bland diet i exercise reguarly also i ahve a problem with severe constipation at times unable to go for 5 -6 days at a time i ahve been told i have a ulcer and been put on nexium no antibiotics at all i get pains under my ribs on the right and left side i have no h-pylori and
Avatar f tn Anywho I am almost constantly nauseous now, usually mild, sometimes severe. i never vomit. My bowels are quite normal- no constipation, and every now and then a touch of loose bowels, but usually normal. The only thing doctors have ever found is gastritis (I have a history of mild anxiety/ stress and mild depression) , that was 2 years ago and I didn't get it treated properly as the medication made me feel sicker.
Avatar n tn My reg family doc wanted me to go to see the gastro doctor to have an endo done back like 3 or 4 months ago when he had to switch me from protonix (which is my 2nd or 3rd med to try for acid reflux) to Nexium , the strongest dose 40 mgs I think. Well at the time I didn't have time to go see the gastro doc. But I had to go see a ENT because of an ear infection and he said my throat looked really irriated and I had better get my acid reflux checked out.
Avatar f tn I take: nexium; 20 mg per week (1 capsule) my smells and constipation get worse if I take it more often but the burning through of my stomach lining gets worse if I don't take it at all, dicetel 50mg 3x a day with meals, simethicone (gas-x) 2x 180 mg capsules 2x a day everyday for the last 9 years, fiber chews 6 per day, aloe vera juice,2x lactaid ultra per day, half a 1000mg tum per day more makes me smell weird and feel more bloated tan usual, 1 Align probiotic per day (which makes my sto
Avatar n tn I have had an ultra-sound, endoscopy, cat scan and colonoscopy. Nothing significant has shown up and I still have the same symptoms. Nexium was prescribed. Any advice?
Avatar f tn The pain is usually behind her navel sometimes radiating to the sides. Occasionally accompanied by nausea. No heartburn, but she does get some relief when she burps. Nexium has been prescribed off and on for her, but sometimes seems to cause nausea. Bowel movements are normal, no diarrhea, constipation, or bloating. Any thoughts? Would a food allergy test be of any value?
Avatar f tn Thanks for your reply. I had read that diarrhea was a side effect but wasn't sure if my loose stools were from the Prilosec or another bout of whatever it is that I have. Guess it's time to do the fecal test...
Avatar f tn He followed up with his doctor on this and I do not think they did the right thing by giving him Nexium. Since he has been on the nexium he has gained 20-30lbs and is now feeling bloated and worse than before. I just do not know what to do about this anymore. I do not know what it could be caused from. If maybe I could get a diet for this type of thing so i knew what kinds of foods that would be best for his stomach and or a better diagnosis. Could this be IBS? We will be following up with a G.
