Going off nexium caused diarrhea

Hi mominpain,

I'm sorry to hear you've been having problems. I believe that your body is just getting used to not having the PPI that you've been taking for 8 years. I have read that our tummies are relatively slow to heal compared to other body systems because you can't take it easy on your digestive systems, per se, because of course we all have to eat and poop :)

I would try chewing saltines or eating things that are easy to to digest (usually things that are low in fiber and also low in fat, but try to avoid too much sugar, too) to ease your body into normal digestion after so long.

Best of luck to you! Hope this helps :)

Maybe it's time to go back to the doctor if the Zantac doesn't work for you.

I really do understand how you feel. When this was first hitting me, all I could eat was a few bites of sweet roll or plain white rice. I really hope something works for you soon!

Keep us posted
Ashley
