Just diagnosed with Bladder Pain Syndrome / Interstitial Cystitis

Hi, I have been on Nexium for my Gerd and digestive issues for over 15 years. I have been experiencing UTI's during the last 10 years. I have never had a urologist tie the two together. This is a new one. I also would find it difficult to eliminate the NexIum.

Agree! Have diaphragmatic hernia, so have GERD.
I have tried stopping nexium but that is worse than these urinary symptoms!
So far myrbetriq ER & Alkaline water with pH 9.5 are helping.

I have no idea if PPI's have an effect on frequent UTI's,
but i can sympathize with you about how difficult it is to get off PPI's. Basically after my gallbladder out i continued to have stomach issues so i was put on the first PPI ( before Nexium). I was on them 15+ years also.
In 2015, with all the negative news about staying on that drug for years - i decided to stop them and see if i could control GERD etc by diet alone.
Getting off Nexium took 2-3 months and included lots and lots of stomach pain!! I was determined to persevere and I am so very happy I did.

I still have Gerd and hiatal hernia, but NO Nexium. 😁
Good look . I know how painful UTI's are and am still struggling with that problem.
