GERD
"I&#039;ve had issues with GERD for a long time and have jumped between a few different medications. First I started with over the counter medications like Prilosec and worked my way along to Nexium. When that failed me Dexilant was prescribed. For GERD symptoms, Dexilant has kept things well controlled. I&#039;ve been on it for almost 2 years now. However, during that time I&#039;ve experienced a significant increase in gas and abdominal discomfort. Although I&#039;ve uncovered lactose intolerance and a mild sensitivity to gluten, I still exhibit symptoms, so I&#039;m starting to suspect that Dexilant may be contributing.

If it turns out that reducing my intake of Dexilant is the culprit, I may have to choose between well-controlled GERD or Irritable Bowel Syndrome-like symptoms."
