Esophagael Cancer or Osteoporosis

[Guest guest]

I was wondering whats better??? None of course, but my point is while on some

of these drugs for RA, do you find you have GERDS or upset stomach so you take a

pill for that, whether it be, zantac, prilosec or Protonix. In doing this, its

believed your chances of bone fractures increase and/or osteoporosis.

This concerns me as I take protonix at least twice weekly and zantac almost

daily because the Celebrex that I am on is causing awful indigestion and some

stomach pains. I have tried taking with food, nixing spicy or acidic foods but

still end up taking an antacid. I am concerned because I already have beginning

of osteoporosis and it just seems like a vicious cycle between caring for my

bones or living in pain.
