I have tried so hard to get rid of them. I stopped the Cafate and was down to one Nexium every second day with 2 Ranitidine to boost them. I seemed to be doing fine for a while but the esophagitis has come roaring back, even worse than before. I also have cramping, especially on my sides, and I am exhausted again.
BMs? Same thing. A few days without anything, while take stool softeners etc, and then a day or 2 of a whole bunch of BMs, many of them pencil thins, mucous etc.
I WISH I could break this and figure out what's causing what.
The heartburn - it's more like pain all the way down - doesn't go away. The medication issue seems to resemble the entocort one. Titrate down and it starts all over again, only it is more difficult to get it under control.
Darn those PPIs
