See G.I. Doctor: Reflux of acid and food does not indicate that the anti acid, in this case nexium, (esomeprazole) is the culprit.

B12eficiency/headach: Lon term use of Nexium (esomeprazole) can some time cause atrophic gastritis, vit b12deficiency.But is relatively safe in recommended dose of 40 or 20 mgm daily
