Common Questions and Answers about Pancreatitis and nexium

pancreatitis

Avatar m tn mm not always.. well normally if you drink quite a bit you can develop fatty liver or pancreatitis (even small amounts of asprin can set it off). Liver tests would be elevated and accurate but testing for the pancrease is only accurate during the acute phase but over time (let's say this is chronic weeks and months long) then the testing is not as accurate because the pancrease gets used to not functioning 100% and elevated enzymes are not caught in blood tests.
Avatar n tn The pancreatic specialist did not mention pancreatitis at the time and only prescribed nexium and sulcrafate for the gastritis. I am 67, and never had a previous bout with pancreatitis. Moderate beer drinker. How should I be treated?
394931 tn?1208115595 i get heartburn bad enough to cause me to vomit, or i eat and i get severe pain right afterwards a very yucky feeling, where i am doubled over in pain and it lasts for anywheres from half an hour to an hour. if i eat or drink anything i have bad heartburn doesnt matter what it is. my doctor prescribed me pantoloc for the heartburn which is not working at all. all it does is make me vomit..i am at the end here i am 23 years old and i am usually so uncomfortable because of the heart burn.
Avatar f tn Almost 2 months ago, after a particularly boozy bachelorette party, I started having severe acid reflux and regurgitation, as well as nausea and diarrhea. My doctor ran blood tests, and my pancreatic enzymes were slightly elevated (I can remember one was at 108.) My nausea was mild, but the reflux was severe. I felt like something was stuck in my throat, and I would cough up I digested food hours after I had eaten it. I had no stomach pain, or any pain at all.
Avatar m tn Hi my husband has chronic Hep C and he has just been told tohat he is suffering from acute pancreatitis. He has been prescribed Nexium tablets to help with vomiting but they seem to be making him worse. I checked the internet but couldnt find any information as to whether or not Nexium was OK to be taken while having Hep C. Any ifo (no matter how small) would be a great help.
Avatar n tn I went to my GP but was afraid to say that it was for the last years. I said the pain was during for a couple of weeks and he prescribed me nexium. It's difficult to say exacty where the pain is; it'd say middle of the quadrant; maybe a little down. I've been reading online some stuff and I'm afraid it might be pancreatitis; but from what I've read the pain from pancreatitis is quite hard to manage.
Avatar f tn My most recent visit I have fatty stool, fatty liver, kidney stone and xray showed costipation, not much else was said. Dr prescribed Nexium and some medication for IBS. He said my blood sugar was off but that was ok because it was the end of the day (3:30pm). My blood work came back good he said. Oh, I also have 4 ovarian cysts that I had to go to the hospital and pay for the results, nothing has been done about those. I am at my whits end, something is wrong and not one Dr.
Avatar f tn I HAVE ULCERS, CHRONIC PANCREATITIS AND GERD. NEXIUM SHOULD ONLY BE TAKEN AS YOUR DR.PRESCRIBES. IT IS A BLESSING, BUT YOU DO NOT WANT TO RUN OUT OF IT WITH YOUR STOMACH CONDITIONS.
Avatar n tn i had a buddy that developed pancreatitis from alcohol,and gets pain kinda like i do,but hes 1000 times worse,,lost alot of weight,and gets uncontrolable vomiting exct. can GERD cause my symptoms you think,i DO experience reflux once in awhile that wakes me up when laying down. please let me know what ya think...
1696240 tn?1308183023 yes i do have reflux since i was a teen, but i take nexium daily and it helps great.
429032 tn?1220444889 t eat, we went back to the doc for labs and a CT scan, waiting for results. He is 67and eats raw vegan mostly and was in good health. This is scary. We tried raw spinach juice and fresh apple juice but that hurt. We tried well cooked potatoes, applesauce and yogurt, even soda crackers hurt. Mostly he is fasting, but he is weak and skinny.
Avatar n tn I was given pain meds but it never got better. I tried nexium, protonics, and prilosec, so far zantac twice/day seems the best. this went on until Sept. When in Oct. I was diagn. w/ pancreatis again. I couldn't be leave it finally some end in sight. I had another CT Scan/normal, Ulrasound normal no gallblader trbl. I was sent to a GI spec. had another EGD/normal, MRCP/normal, a gallblader function test/suprise normal. He decided in Nov. that I should have a sphincterotomy.
Avatar f tn For the last three weeks, off and on, I have been having burps that smell like feces. I read on Webmd.com and a few other sources that this only usually happens if a person has been vomiting. Which I have not been. The first time it happened was when I'd eaten out at a restaurant. The food pretty much soured in my stomach and gave me severe diahhrea as well as the horrible smelling burps. Now it seems that it's basically on a whim when this will happen.
Avatar f tn ve had diarrhea everyday for i cant remember how many years, my weight has always been a struggle and i too had my gallbladder removed in the end, they said it was diseased and that should have been the cause of the sickness and diarrhea but 5 years on and i dont remember my belly ever being normal yet.
Avatar f tn ve also had a colonoscopy and an espphagus scope done in the last month. I take Nexium twice daily for ersoion of esophagus and reglan for this pain. It does nothing for the pain. I've been in the ER once.
Avatar n tn calcification, I also have an enlarged pancreatic duct and history of bile duct sclerosis. I have systemic sclerosis and have chronic gastric ulcers (no H-pyloric) and food bezoars for 10 years. I am supposed to be on liquid diet (I am not) and have gastroparesis and have gained 40 pounds in past two years. I have hypothyroidism for 33 years and empty sella syndrome.
Avatar m tn Trending some of my past test they seem to have been creeping up since May and June of 2014 when I started Nexium 40mg daily for GERD and Celebrex 200mg daily for arthritis. I am wondering if one of these medications can be driving this train since the correlation is there. My provider recently switched me to Protonix instead since he is not sure also. I have had some upper abdominal pressure and discomfort and was concerned for pancreatitis due to the Triglyceride levels.
Avatar n tn Trouble was I had a really bad Nicorette habit. Low and behold I have chronic pancreatitis and if I chew the gum--the pancreatic pain skyrockets. I would say "YES" Nicorette either causes, triggers, or aggrevates pancreatitis.
Avatar f tn And when the sphincter spasms it can cause a backup of pancreatic fluids and bile and can result in pancreatitis. If you have another attack and go to the ER or see your doc, make sure they check your liver and pancreatic enzyme levels within 12 hours of an attack because the levels will rapidly fall. You might also want to follow a low fat diet. There are people who have problems with handling fat after GB surgery and the presence of fat in the diet can sometimes result in spasms.

Avatar m tn Hi, Im hoping to talk to a doctor about nexium. Im here on behalf of my girlfriend who recently started to take nexium for her stomach pains. She has been very hot at random times and has been nauseas at night. Her period was suppose to start yesterday but it has not yet and we are not sure as to why it has not. She had one episode of cramps this morning but it was very short and ended soon after.
Avatar n tn ,when i have the medicine for a day, then the pain reduces and dissappears in a few days, and with in a couple of weaks, i feel the burning sensation slowly increasing and it becomes the same worse position of mine, i had all the check ups and tests, its all normal, but i do not know how to kill this disease forever.
Avatar m tn Hi...I am on Nexium and synthroid....can I take them together in the morning and hour before breakfast? I am supposed to take them both in AM. Thanks....
Avatar m tn that you were on anyway right? if he or she knew you were on nexium and xanax and still prescribed it to you then it should be okay i guess. also the same for your doc. that prescribed you the nexium. sometimes you can find on certain websites like drugs.com or something how certain meds react with others.
Avatar f tn im now being directed to take a gastric emptying study which i already have had done a year ago and those results were normal..my question is...is here a link between pancreatitis and bile reflux? and if so, would it not be indicative of an obstruction (due to the minor dilation) of my pancreatic duct....is there any remedies or speculation around these test results?
Avatar m tn Hello, I'm new to this site. I was recently diagnosed with GERD, and prescribed to nexium. Today is the 2 week mark of taking nexium. The only symptom I seem to get is really bad belching and it feels like there is a lump in my throat, those were the same symptoms I had when I was diagnosed. I had the same symptom for about a month before i went in. Maybe once or twice did I get heartburn or get an acidic taste in my mouth.
Avatar n tn I had hyperparathyroidism and it was my understanding that was separate from my thyroid issue. I'm not sure that is clinically correct though. Hope you get more answers.
Avatar f tn I have had gerd plus a hiatal hernia for years. I take nexium and have for at least ten years. Now I am told I have iron defiency anemia. Reading through the insert that comes with nexium it appears this drug could cause the anemia. Has anybody experienced this?
