    I'm having something similar to nexium named Almax,
    And...... my stools are becoming very clear! l suppose is normal as Almax is a kind of white pap mainly of calcium !

    Hey
    For Christmas it was just my sister and me and our three furry ones (two cats and a dog). My brother was on holiday and my dad was away with his wife, It was nice but quiet. How was yours?

    Bummer
    So sorry you are having this pain. You should let the doctor know though. Never had that problem so I'm not sure what could ease the pain. Maybe the doctor can give you something for it. Hope you feel better soon.

    I guess your doctor is the best bet for care.
    Did he recommend diet changes ? or anything special ?
    You could look up slippery elm as it generally helps digestive issues.
    Hope your get over over this speed bump well.
