Has anyone been prescribed Nexium for any of your symptoms? I was given Nexium to help with the upper gastro----burping and I don't think it's helping and yet I feel much worse without it. I was wondering if there could be withdrawal sympotms with the nexium.

Thanks

I was prescriped Nexium but my insurance didn't cover it, so we went with Protonix. Took it for three months - fine. No heartburn/reflux. Stopped it when the Rx ran out, and shortly thereafter the symptoms started again so I refilled the Rx and have been fine.

I recently looked into having my medications compounded at an apothocary shop. The pharmacist informed me that Nexium is not gluten free and cannot be compounded. I will have to start taking Protonix, which can be compounded.

Nexium is not gluten-free??????? :blink:

Holy cow, I've been on it for a year now.

Okay--I just found this: Open Original Shared Link

According to this, Nexium is gluten-free.

How do we know what to believe? :blink: Any possiblity your pharmacist is looking for a way to charge extra? Or is Purplepill.com lying? (Both seem equally possible, don't they?)

Yikes.

i've been taking nexium perscribed by my gastro-doc since about may i think? and i was diagnosed with gluten intolerance after that by the same doc, and i have heard from a lot of people including my doctor that if your gonna stop that kind of medicine, you have to ease off it slowly...my doctor is really big ointo the whole celiac thing...i felt like he was looking for it specifically so i trust that he wouldnt perscribe me anything with gluten...and the website hopefully isn't lying?? just my experince...but i definantly love nexium!! it makes a world of difference

It's the only thing that works for me right now! I'd be very interested if your doctor recommends some kind of weaning off schedule? Could you please let me know if he does? I tried going from Nexium to Zantac, thinking I could then wean off the Zantac (which used to work for me but doesn't now), but it didn't work. :(

I have been trying to get off the nexium as well and find my symptoms by day 5 are way worse than before I ever went on the stuff. I have now decided to take one every second day but I see my GI tomorrow and will ask him about weaning off the stuff. I will let you know what he says tomorrow. Why do you want to wean off of it?

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      You might try Heallix. It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball. It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again, not in your eyes or ears.

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
