Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 Hi Roe, I don't know if someone answered you on the iron, wish I could help. But I'm not sure. I take my Nexium first thing in the morning with, Calcium, vit e and a diuretic pill. My doc said it was just fine to do that. But I don't know about the Iron. I'm almost 3 weeks of only 1 nexium a day, was 2 a day for forever. The doctor told me to make sure I always took my nexium 10 hours apart. That is the only other tid-bit I have to say. I hope vitalady answers, she had lots of ulcers and is very smart about knowing when to take what. Good luck, Joanie Nexium and Iron > Hello All: > > My ulcers have really been kicking this past month. The Doc put me > on 1 Nexium 2x's a day. Said to take one Nexium first thing in the > morning.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 I'd be afraid to take iron with a tummy tamer. Nexium has shown me, personally, nothing. I'm going back to Prilosec. But I took megadoses of it with the last ulcer (during SLD), 4 X 40mg. But it did heal it. They also gave me carrafate, which I believe also neutralizes anything else you take with it. It has to be taken on empty, so I only took it at night. Ahhhhhhhhhhh, relief. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.
