Feeling desperate and so stressed. About 2 months ago was suffering with heartburn and upper abdominal pain. Have been on omeprazole for years for acid reflux but wasn’t helping. Docs changed to nexium and eventually everything calmed down. Have been constipated on and off, am normally ibs d so wondering if it’s nexium. Also now very bloated and lots of trapped wind, and heartburn back, could that be down to constipation? Just worried it’s something serious and fed up of feeling rubbish 😢

I had the same symptoms for many years and the doctors couldn’t help. I finally went to a highly qualified nutritionist and she is now sorting me out.
You are more likely to have low rather than high stomach acid so omeprazole would exacerbate this. You can do a simple home test with bicarbonate of soda to check. Try DGL licorice which would relieve acid reflux.
I hope you find some relief but I’d recommend nutritional support. Good luck.
