I have been on Dexilant from the get go of being on steroids when dx with UC. All the other PPI medications did not work for me and Dexilant has. I have never had C Dif in all my years with UC dx in 2007 and being on a PPI. I do have a hiatal hernia and I keep vomiting along with migraines. I am now trying Dexilant an hour before I eat dinner and see if that will help with the nausea/vomiting/migraine attacks (which I always get while sleeping). GI dr. seems to think its because the dexilant has worn off in the middle of the night and that could be the problem. I am also going for an EGD on Tuesday to see if I have done any more damage to the hernia and she wants to just look.
Not that I want people to have the same problems as me but it is nice to see that I am not alone on this lovely j pouch path. Sometimes I just wonder what the XXXX is going on with my body! My GI and everyone around me states "but you look so good"! I tell them it is all about LOOKING GOOD! NOT! Only my husband and kids know how much I (we) suffer because they live it with me! You just gotta laugh!
