Well, I definitely pee'd a lot yesterday, but it seemed to die down
after dinner...I took the pill around noon...so, I am assuming it stays
in your system for about 8 hours or so...not sure. They don't advise
taking the pill late in the day or evening (I can see why now)...you'll
be up all night...it literally made me go 4 or 5 times in a hour...i
started to get the giggles...
I am on Nexium for Acid Reflux (GERD), Hiatal Hernia, Barrett’s
Esophageous/Disease...all digestive problems.
