Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Leonie, get some probiotic at the health food store. I took two for about four months and then one after that every day. now I don't have a problem with my stomache or gut. I wish you well.

Does anyone know if the Minocin and Nexium can be taken together ? It seems to me that it will create a very unfavourable environment in my body, since the Nexium kills stomach acid causing bugs to multiply. This is on top of the antibiotics killing all the intestinal flora also. I feel like i've run out of options in life. My knees are badly swollen and it's hard to get around. I'm going to ask for a cortisone injection tomorrow, since the Celebrex is eating away at my insides. thanks to you all ... ~Leonie leoniecent@... 02 62556202 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 You may want to try drinking aloe vera water/juice/gel (whichever you can get and like). It will sooth and heal all the way through your body.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi I am taking minocin nd also Prilosac which is PPI too. Doctor prescribed Minocin and Prilosac for me. I didn't have much heart burn but I had acid reflux. Prilosac worked for me. You take Nexium at morning before taking anything and take Minocin at least 3 hours after Nexium because to digest Minocin the stomack should be acidic enough. soheila From: leonie cent <leoniecent@...> Subject: rheumatic Nexium and AP rheumatic Date: Wednesday, June 25, 2008, 4:42 AM Hello group, I finally decided to start on the AP, and now i have an ulcer (or something) due to long term Celebrex usage.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi Leonie I take Nexium whenever I have to have NSAIDS so I was interested in your query. I did a bit of research and it seems it's ok to have it with most antibiotics - it's specifically used in conjunction with antibiotics for stomach ulcers.
