Hi @dlb123. Really appreciate your good wishes and thoughts for @kari33.

Just wanted to mention since you talked about what you noted in Google, or Google AI overview using their AI tool called Gemini, that AI assistant tools absolutely can help begin an information search. Please do keep in mind that AI tools are not 100% accurate, and you will always want to fact check. I had to do this when I asked an AI assistant about some college scholarship information for our son. I had to then go to the site for each college to verify the information. Tedious, but useful since I found some discrepancies.

To help offer guidance on using AI tools safely when looking for health information, please see this blog written for Mayo Clinic Connect members:

The Google AI overview via Gemini pulls information from many different sources. For that reason, we recommend that you always:
1. Fact check everything before posting on Mayo Clinic Connect.
2. Check the sources or ask the tool for the original sources, so you can mention those in any post.

Have you taken some esomeprazole (Nexium) or some other gastric protection medication in your journey to a solid gastrointestinal diagnosis, dbl123? If so, how did it work for you?
