Was diagnosed with Silent GERD 3 years ago and have been on Zegerid 2X daily since then. Severe stomach bloating and occasional shortness of breath, have gained 15 pounRAB with no explanation - doctor told me to do more sit ups??!! and sent me on my way. I have always been thin but these extra pounRAB are dragging me down. Had an SVT episode in Deceraber - heart rate returned to normal after 2 hours and ER kicked me to the curb with no explanation. Had another SVT episode at week a week ago lasted about 30 minutes, but once I forced myself to burp heart rate returned to normal. I have had an endoscopy, colonoscopy, blood tests, EKG's, abdom & Thyroid sonogram, etc. I need to know what to demand of the doctor when I go into see him, this is causing a great deal of anxiety and added stress. And no I cannot control the stress in my life - my career is very stressful, as is home despite attempts to reduce the levels. I need to burp now but am only spitting bile and food up................yuck.
 
Can you request to be placed on another PPI that is not Zegerid?

I know that different people react to different medications differently. You may do better on a different PPI or a H2 blocker. Maybe it is time to get a second opinion from a different GI doctor. I can't imagine you suffering like that for three years.
 
I was on Zergerid for about 8 months and had similar effects. I would have terrible gas cramps and pains and felt awful. Had an endoscopy and the doctor switched me to Kapidex. Hopefully it will do better. I believe it is the baking soda in the Zegerid that is making those pains. Hope this helps. Have you tried taking gas-x or anything?
