Hello,

After a treatment with PPIs because of 8 duodenal ulcers, esogafitis, duodentis and gastritis I am now 4 weeks without PPI. After 2 weeks without PPI I have created a constant nausea. I wake up with it and go sleep with it. Doctors have examined everything; a new endoscopy, ultrasound, CT scan. Nothing deviant was found. But now I'm nauseous for 2 weeks. Can this still be a withdrawal symptom?

I'm so tired because of fighting against that nauseous feeling. sad

Well to the Healing Well Forum! Yes, it absolutely could be acid rebound. Did you wean yourself off of the PPI, or did you just quit taking it? Ask you doctor to prescribe you Zofran to help with the nausea.

Hi,

I did a cold turkey because I toke them only for 5 weeks.

Now I'm 24/7 nauseous. I'm so scared it will be forever.

How long could the acid rebound take? I don't have any burning sensation or something else.

Just crazy nausea.

It varies from person to person, sorry. Again, get the prescription of Zofran, in the interim, it really does help with nausea.

Thanks for the reply. Should i take the ppi again and wean off or not? I take now Litican for my nausea. Doesnt help.

Thanks.

I only toke the ppi for 5/6 weeks. I have no heartburn or reflux as rebound, just dealing with horrible nausea.

Is it normal? sad

You cant buy Zofran in Belgium. Only if you have cancer and its really expensive, +$100.

As for another prescription anti-nausea medication. If not, try PeptoBismol, or Dramamine, which are both O-T-C. Talk to the nurse in the doctor's office, she should have some suggestions.

Hey Joaqim,

I know this was an older post... but did your nausea resolve? I am going through the exact same situation as you! An update would be greatly appreciated!
