I’m ready to try to get my 2.5 year old off of Nexium. I know the rebound effect is pretty bad. We tried it once and within 4 days he was a wreck.
He takes 20mg. 2x a day. He is 30lbs.
We are trying to heal his gut and the Nexium causes leaky gut. So, it seems pointless to keep him on it.
But, of course my doc. doesn’t have a clue how to do this properly. Can anyone give me some advice on how to do this the best way?
I’m thinking of asking for the highest dose of Zantac he can safely take 3 times a day and quitting the Nexium. But, I don’t know if this is totally the wrong way to go.
TIA!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. Is Dr. Phillips a super awesome doc?
I am thinking of trying cold turkey. I did not give him his night time dose. I just have this gut feeling that it’s time to get off of the stuff.
We are giving him b-12 injections and Nexium causes B-12 deficiencies. Also, we are trying to heal his gut and Nexium causes leaky gut. So, it seems like we are going in circles here.
Thanks again

Thanks!!
