Q: GERD, PPIs and side effects?

I have been on PPI's for 10 months (now on 20mg Nexium) after being diagnosed with reflux oesophagitus. For the passed 2 months I have been passing mustard yellow stools. My doctor has given me blood tests and I am anaemic and we are looking at celiac disease as a possibility.

Has any one experienced this change in colour and drop in blood count too? i.e. could it be a side effect of PPIs or symptom of GERD rather than celiac disease?

Every time I google "yellow stools" I get taken to furniture catalogues! Not that helpful!

Would love advice or hear similar stories to reassure me.

Thanks

Suze
