I haven't taken a Nexium since I started this. I took a Pepcid because I had a little heartburn before bed one night but other than that I have taken nothing. I just ate some ravioli's in a white sauce and a salad and usually I would be very uncomfortable as I normally don't digest salad well and it was a ginger dressing and I feel fine, not bloated or anything. I am taking one before my lunch and one before dinner usually but sometimes I have taken it only once. So far so good. I am really incensed that even though I asked once if I had a motillity problem and was told probably that nothing was given to me. I have got to get rid of this esophagitis as it is dangerous. Please talk to you Dr about it. this is the first time in 10 years or more I have not taken an acid reducer every day. All they did was keep raising it to where I was taking 80mg a day of Nexium and still nothing working. I have tried them all except Aciphex and that has too many side effects for most people from what I have heard. If it works it works good but for most people I know they had to quit it and besides they think the PPI's contribute to bone loss.
