Did you notice the loss before or after starting Protonix? Protonix does not specifically list loss of appetite as a side effect but nausea is a listed side effect. If this persists, you should discuss this symptom with your doctor. Loss of appetite can certainly occur with reflux and/or stomach ulcers and if the Protonix is not helping then it's time to re-evaluate. Stephanie Reply
