GERD
"I&#039;ve been having problems for years with my stomach and GERD.  I was put on prilosec and was told that it would possibly cause an upset stomach to begin with but to try to work through it.  I took it for around 5 months but I could not handle it anymore.  I kept stomach cramps and an upset stomach the whole time.  I couldn&#039;t keep enough fluids in me to keep myself hydrated.  Months later I was prescribed it again and tried it once again.  Same thing but worse.  I had bad blood work come back saying my kidneys weren&#039;t working right and my potassium was so low I was admitted into the Hosp.  Since then my kidneys are still not OK. I&#039;ve been peeing blood on and off. I am pretty sure that this medicine has messed my kidneys up. Bad stuff for me"
