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?

      Chances of being coeliac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Welcome @JoJo0611. That is a valid question.  Unfortunately the short answer is slim to none.  Be proactive, when the diagnosis process is completed, start GFD.  Remember also that the western diet is deficient in many nutrients that governments require fortification.  Read the side of a breakfast cereal box. Anti-tTG antibodies has superseded older serological tests It has a strong sensitivity (99%) and specificity (>90%) for identifying celiac disease. A list of symptoms linked to Celiac is below.  No one seems to be tracking it, but I suspect that those with elevated ttg, but not diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are diagnosed with celiac disease many years later or just die, misdiagnosed.  Wheat has a very significant role in our economy and society.  And it is addictive.  Anti-tTG antibodies can be elevated without gluten intake in cases of other autoimmune diseases, certain infections, and inflammatory conditions like inflammatory bowel disease. Transient increases have been observed during infections such as Epstein-Barr virus.Some autoimmune disorders including hepatitis and biliary cirrhosis, gall bladder disease. Then, at 65 they are told you have Ciliac Disease. Milk protein has been connected to elevated levels.   Except for Ireland and New Zealand where almost all dairy cows are grass fed, commercial diaries feed cows TMR Total Mixed Rations which include hay, silage, grains and concentrate, protein supplements, vitamins and minerals, byproducts and feed additives. Up to 80% of their diet is food that cannot be eaten by humans. Byproducts of cotton seeds, citrus pulp, brewer’s grains (wheat and barley, rye, malt, candy waste, bakery waste. The wheat, barley and rye become molecules in the milk protein and can trigger tTg Iga in persons suseptible to Celiac. I can drink Grass fed milk, it tastes better, like the milk the milkman delivered in the 50's.  If I drink commercial or Organic milk at bedtime I wake with indigestion.

      Dedicated gluten-free Restaurants in East Bay (near San Francisco):

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I strongly recommend 2 dedicated gluten free (gluten-free) restaurants in my area (East Bay of San Francisco Bay Area) (2025) -- Life is Sweet Bakery and Café in Danville. I've been a few times with friends and tried multiple entrees and salads. All very good and worth having again. I've also tried a number of their bakery goods. All extremely good (not just "good for gluten-free"). https://lifeissweetbakeryandcafe.com/ -- Kitara Kitchen in Albany (they have additional locations). I've been once and had the "Buritto Bowl". Six individual items plus a sauce. Outstanding. Not just "for gluten-free", but outstanding in its own right. Vibrant flavors, great textures. I can't wait to go back. https://www.kitava.com/location/kitava-albany/

      I'm 67 and have been celiac for 17yrs. I had cataract surgery and they put a gluten lens in my eye. Through a lot of research, I found out about MMA acrylic...it contains gluten. It took 6 months for me to find a DR that would remove it and replace it with a gluten-free lens . I have lost some vision in that eye because of it . I also go to a prosthodontist instead of a regular dentist because they are specialized. He has made me a night guard and a few retainers with no issues... where my regular dentist didn't care. I have really bad reactions to gluten and I'm extremely sensitive, even to CC. I have done so much research on gluten-free issues because of these Drs that just don't care. Gluten is in almost everything shampoo, lotion, food, spices, acrylic, medication even communion wafers! All of my Drs know and believe me I remind them often.... welcome to my world!

      If this applies geographically, in the U.K., physicians will often declare a diagnosis of celiac disease based on the TTG-IGA antibody blood test alone if the score is 10x normal or greater, which your score is. There is very little chance the endoscopy/biopsy will contradict the antibody blood test.
