My apologies if this is TMI. . .I wanted to share in case anyone else has similar issues. I've been having some reflux and GI issues lately and finely got into see my gastro.
My reflux came back about 3 months ago and my esophagus has been gurgling/growling whenever I drink or eat. I scheduled today's appt a month ago and took the nurse's advice to increase my Nexium back to 2 a day while waiting on the appt day. Meanwhile, my GI track started giving me horrible sharp pains on my left side w/in 30- 40 minutes after eating, followed by diarrhea. It hasn't been fun the past 2 weeks.
Today, the doc said that the increased Nexium caused these GI issues. She switched me off Nexium to another Rx for the reflux, gave me something for the spasms, and put me on probiotics. Hoping these changes work. I'll check-in after a couple of weeks and let ya'll know.
