Protonix 40 mg.

I have been put on this rx because of severe stomach ulcers,now have constant loose stools,and stomach pain,loss of appetite,is anyone else having these side effects?But it helps the acid reflux,so I continue to take it.Should I quit this rx?

I had these same issues in the first few days of taking Protonix. I would wake up with stomach pain (from gas), nausea, and sort of cramping. But my body seemed to get used to it, and I don't have any effects at all from Protonix except that it helps the reflux, but not completely. I am still sleeping sitting up, which I hate. And I can't drink tea, coffee, eat chocolate or acidic things or spices. Basically my entire diet. I'm better, but still wondering if there's something besides Protonix I could take to completely cut out the acid, especially at night.
