Diarreah after stopping nexium/dexilant? withdrawl?

Been taking nexium on the weekends for over 6 years. 1 to 3 a week. Dr put me on dexilant a month ago, said it was better. Been reading all the bad press about PPI's now and stopped taking it. I was only taking 1 to 3 pills a week but I went two weeks without and now have been getting severe diareaah for last few days. Could be coincidence ? Doing a lot of nutribullet green vibrance shakes and increasing fiber intake which could be adding to to it. Stopped those for last 2 days till symptons go away. Increased my vitamin intake, saw palmetto and have been eating tums and zantac for heartburn now. Could be too much calcium? Has anyone else had diarreah after stopping PPI's?

Everyone's GI tract is different and anything we put in our mouths -- or combination thereof -- can affect us. It's possible that your acidity levels are off or that your body is adjusting to the variety of changes you're experiencing. The Nutribullet green shakes will sure do it to you, though! Increasing fiber, particularly fruits and vegetables, can definitely work your body into a frenzy for a while. They're good for you, in general, but can wreak havoc on your intestines until your body balances out. Maybe a short time period of the BRAT (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) can help you to find some relief. Then add back in the veggies, etc. slowly.

Feel better!

Glad to hear it's easing up. Immodium is a good friend to have. I use it not only for bugs but when I travel internationally. Good stuff! Always helpful for "fire butt" as we call it in our house :)
