I've been on Dexilant 60mg for a few months now, and while it's helped with my acid reflux, I can't shake off the feeling of unease knowing the potential side effects. Has anyone else experienced any of the severe side effects like kidney problems or C. diff-associated diarrhea? I'm really hoping to hear from others who've had similar experiences. Also, for those who've been on it longer, how have you managed the potential long-term risks? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

I was prescribed Dexilant 30mg (formerly Kapidex) to treat my heartburn and acid reflux. The medication has been helpful, but I am worried about the potential severe side effects. Has anyone else taken this medication and experienced any of the serious side effects like allergic reactions, electrolyte problems, or kidney issues? The list of severe side effects is quite frightening, and I am looking for some reassurance or tips on managing these concerns. If so, how did you navigate them?
