1580703 tn?1651904887 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?

Avatar m tn found a papilloma while looking for a reason I was having trouble with my voice. I have an ulcer on my vocal chord which will be treated with Nexium and the papilloma will be removed next thursday. I don't know how big it is, but it is at that point in my throat that makes me want to gag. I have no GW but I have had common warts on the back of my hands. Other than that, I have had no warts in my mouth.
Avatar n tn while I was on 6-80mg Nexium a day, I had weird and chronic gastro-viruses and I believe Nexium kills all the acid in your stomach and then you are more prone to stomach viruses.
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.

203342 tn?1328737207 Well, I tried to post this question the other day and didn't get any response so I thought I'd try again. I'm on Entocort and Nexium for my Crohns and Gastritis. I have almost constant heartburn and gas and it's making me miserable. According to the directions on my medication, I'm not supposed to take ant-acids with this medication. I'm not sure what to do or what can help with this. I'm beginning to wonder if the medication exasberates things.
Avatar m tn I take 40mg daily of nexium daily. I was having acid attacks even with the Nexium, alway at night when sleeping. I have the wedge, extra pillows etc. Garvistan, Tums next to my bed. I once asked Dr. when could I stop Nexium he said I would need to lose weight. I have low iron, low B levels. Thinning hair etc. I already have spinal stenosis. I have been on Nexium for at least 10 years. Anyone out there who's been able to quit Nexium, let me know how and how long it took.
Avatar n tn There is nothing in the manufacturer's literature regarding bone loss with Nexium. If the Nexium is diminishing your calcium supply then you may need to increase your calcium intake. First, I would suggest a bone density scan to make sure if your calcium levels are low or not and to measure the strength of your bones. Please discuss this issue further with your primary doctor.
Avatar f tn He said if it improves even more he will say the nexium caused it. Because my tongue got this way just 4 to six months after taking nexium. Now does anyone have the answers I'm looking for did nexium do this to me?
