Re: Unexpected trigger for GERD

Amy I've taken Nexium daily for ten years since my chemo finished and a Hiatal Hernia was diagnosed as the cause of my GERD. I've just recently read of a large study showing Nexium can cause some serious kidney issue's and even kidney failure! I tried to stop taking it but suffered too much with acid so I'm just waiting to see my Onc in the summer and discuss with her, glad you found the cause of yours.
