One thing I'd think twice about if I had it to do over is taking a PPI. I've been taking nexium for a very long time and it did help with easing my heartburn, but the latest research shows that it has a lot of nasty side effects such as heart palpitations and stealing the calcium from your bones. I have tried to stop taking it multiple times and managed to get my dosage down to 20 MG from 40, but when I go off completely the rebound acid production hurts like hell. I don't like meds that you can't stop taking. Diet alone might be enough to fix you up. I make and drink a lot of bone broth which helps the IBS. No matter what I'm glad the tests showed nothing too horrible and wish you a healthy tummy.
