I'm sorry you're going through so much. I too get stomach pains. I've been on MeRAB for GERD for about 12 yrs now. My pain is more toward my left side but still between the belly button and ribs. And I get a crampy pain kind of like a stitch in my side Right below my left ribs toward the...

I get that too! I hate to say it but i'm glad to hear of someone else having that and not just me. I have No idea what it is. I've kinda thought that it might have something to do with a hernia. but i'm not sure. I have to go next month and have the Scope procedure done. Hopefully they'll...

I've had acid refulx for over 12 yrs. I was also dx'd with an ulcer about 5 yrs ago. I used to take Nexxium for Acid reflux but it got to where it didn't help as much and the Dr switched me to pantroprazol (generic for protonix) now i'm not a heavy drinker since my grandpa was an alcholic...

With My Ulcer it felt like a Burning, Gnawing pain like something was In my stomach trying to Eat it's way out. It's not a fun feeling at all.

Thanks! I'm seriously thinking about just finding a differant Dr. I have Thyroid issues too and i've had a Lot of problems getting him to listen to me about those problems too! I've gotten the nausea taking Nexium too. it's weird because on the pant my stomach didn't feel "Yuck" like it...

Thanks everyone for all the help and suggestions. I'm so ready for my appt on the 29th. I had an earlier appt but my Husband ended up having to have urablical hernia surgery yesterday. And then the Gastro Dr i'm going to see is off work next week soo I have to wait. Today I felt really good...

I dont' know Jonnstar. I've basically only tried pepcid over the counter and it didn't do jack for my heartburn. I've thought about trying that new previcid. to see how it works.

I took Pantaprazole for about a year and Loved it at first but then it slowly quit working as well so my DR put me on Nexium. I get the Stomach pains with it too and I've noticed that I get Really bloated too. Like i've eatten a HUGE meal only I haven't. I'm Not a big alchol drinker but I do...

I'm on Nexium right now and really don't like it. I get the abdominal pain side effect and the nausea. I'd Love to change to something else but my Dr is making me wait till I have my Endoscope done. yuck

Thanks So much ya'll for all the advice and support. I'm feeling better after reading all your experiences. I'll try to update tomorrow after the procedure. Say a prayer for me Please

I had mine done about a month ago and omg it was so nothing to worry about. And believe me I freak at Every kind of procedure. It was so easy and went off without any problems. I can't have the nurabing throat spray and even not having that didn't bother me. Good luck

I have to have one too! Mine will have to wait till next yr when we get some money because there is No way I can afford it right now :(

No I haven't tried any of those. I did take 2 extra strength tums last night and it seemed to help. I took Mylalox the other night and it helped too. So maybe it is acid reflux? Just doesn't feel like it kwim?

I'm wondering if I'm the only one that is having problems with Nexium. I've had acid reflux for years. I can't remeraber the first med I was on but a few yrs after that my Dr changed me to nexium. I was on it for yrs too and then about 2 yrs ago it stopped working as well. So my Dr changed...
