Nexium

[Victoria39]

Hi My name is Victoria Lockett. I am writing to you on the concern of my finace. He has had very bad stomach problems since we met 2 years ago and now is just getting worse. He has been having problems such as: Massive amounts of heartburn, bad indigestion, throwing up at times ( no blood ) and also always has gas 90 percent of the day. He followed up with his doctor on this and I do not think they did the right thing by giving him Nexium. Since he has been on the nexium he has gained 20-30lbs and is now feeling bloated and worse than before. I just do not know what to do about this anymore. I do not know what it could be caused from. If maybe I could get a diet for this type of thing so i knew what kinds of foods that would be best for his stomach and or a better diagnosis. Could this be IBS? We will be following up with a G.I. some time in the begining of next month but with most of the doctors we see they do not care to look further into this and just listen to his symptoms and give him whatever and send him on his way. I really want him to get on the right track here and I really would like him to get the better help he deserves and needs. Please help if you can I am in desperate needs!!  



Thank you very much.

If you haven't already seen a GI doctor, you need to.  It could be so many different things, like gall bladder diasease, stomach ulcers, IBS, Crohn's.  He needs to have a gastroscopy to look at the stomach.

I would reccommend him get a test done for H-pylori as this could be his problem.
