My suggestion is to stay away from Nexium for long term use. Go with Prilosec instead. Also some bromelain and papaya have been a great combination for aiding in digestion and enzyme gastric help. There are many natural cures by way of fruits and veggies. The trick is to know in what combinations to use them. Raw fruits and vegetables have some of the best natural enzymes in them. Too many times we eat processed foods or foods that have have their enzymes cooked or fried out of them. Our bodies have a set number of enzymes we are born with. It's time many americans get back to eating their foods as raw as the can get it.(within reason of course) And you'll see how many stomach and digestive problems can be solved naturally.
Granted the risk of these is less then 1% of the populated users but none the less very real risks of using Nexium.
