Dexilant has some bad side effects including nausea and vomiting. My doctor tried me on it for about 3 months years ago, but it didn't help my GERD or chronic gastritis. Are you on PPIs like omeprazole or H2 blockers like famotidine? I'm on 40mg omeprazole twice a day, and 20mg famotidine twice a day. I also take calcium carbonate antacids and alginic acid. I still have breakthrough reflux.

My previous gastro told me there was nothing more he could do to help me. My new gastro says surgery (fundoplication or myotomy) may possibly help, and we'll be discussing that at my next appointment, although both he and I think it may cause more problems than it solves.

I'm not giving up yet. Thinking of trying DGL again.
