 5  Anastomotic Ulcer ZERO KAPIDEX (Now known as Dexilant) has been a wonder drug for me. Nothing worked for me. I had horrible GERD, especially during the night, where I would wake during the night with a mouth full of acid, horrible stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, etc. I had lost approximately 30 pounds due to this ulcer. The Dexilant is now working and I am doing much better! I had tried every other medication on the market for Ulcers and GERD and none of them worked! Thank Goodness this medication is on the market!!! F 44 3 months

 5  Hiatal hernia, acid reflux Kapidex, now known as Dexilant, is the BEST medicine I have ever taken for my hiatal hernia and acid reflux. My gastroenterologist put me on every medicine and finally decided to try this new one. It's amazing, and keeps all my symptoms away (which were so severe that I lost 10 lbs and couldn't function). I was so happy to have found this pill. My insurance company put up quite a fight and did not want to pay for it and made me try all other pills--which failed. Finally got approved for it. I have not had any side effects. It has only helped and cured my symptoms--not created others. F 22 2 years

 5  Chronic GERD for about 4 years No side effects My GERD was so bad I was waking up at night with my stomach on fire and projectile vomiting. Endoscopies and gastroenterologist were useless.so were all the meds which eventually seemed like they made the situation worse so I stopped taking them. My GP finally gave me a sample of dexilant.. I took it for 3 months and then my insurance company decided I didn't need it. I haven't had a twinge of heartburn since the first capsule and I have been off the meds for 2 months. I lost 50 pounds because I didn't have to keep eating to help the pain and feel like I have my life back. Truly a miracle drug for me! Sorry to hear others had so many problems. F 53

 5  severe GERD, bloating, gas None This drug has allowed me to eat normally with minimal GERD for the first time in many years. I have a connective tissue disease (overlap syndrome) and have some stricture of my esophagus. I was underweight before taking the drug because of all my symptoms. I have since gained several pounds and feel better than ever. I am very thankful that this drug exists because I did not have good results with any other drug on the market. F 53 3 years
