" I am on the nexium and does help with the GERD.
have been on it for several years.
The taste in your mouth is from the acid coming up sometimsI brush my teeth several time a day.
the only problem is i am on nexium [4 pills a day] and you need some acid in your stomach to much nexium isn t going to help digestion.
I believe this is where some of these lower abdominal problems stem from. "
