I have been taking Nexium, 40 mg for 3 years, for acid reflux after having a chronic cough, asthma, and a lung infection. Last year in May I had erosive gastritis because of bile in the stomach. Since then I have had pain on and off in upper right quadrant under the rib cage, diarrhea (4 or more times a day) nausea, with gnawing pain and burning in the upper stomach area. After having several tests that ruled out everything, and trying 80 mgs of Nexium a day, my Dr. prescribed Cholesteramine, a bile acid blocker ( I live in Uruguay, South America.) Since I started taking this medication, I have felt much better. One month he suggested taking it every other day and I was back to the above symptoms. I started taking it every day again and began to feel much better. Now he is asking me to try taking it every other day again and reducing the Nexium to 20 mgs. I'm hesitant to do this because I do not want to be sick again. He has never used the words bile reflux, however, I'm almost convinced that this is what it is. Is bile reflux a condition that a person will continually have, or do the symptoms eventually disappear? I occasionally still have the pain in the upper right quadrant area but not as frequent as before. I have not had my gall bladder removed. Thank you for any information that anyone can give me on this. Patti





In 2005, my gallbladder was removed and from that moment forward my life became a nightmare. I was in permanent dyspepsia. I had a bile reflux and chronic gastritis. Finally, at the end of last year I found something that is truly helping me very much and I want to share with all of you –– should you be one who is having a similar problem.
TRIPHALA is the name of these wonderful vegetarian capsules. You Google this name and get information about it. I tried for years everything that my doctors told me to do from prescription drugs to anti-acids and many other medicines. Nothing worked for me until now. Hopefully you will benefit from Triphala and it will help you as much it is helping me.
