Nexium causing belching and bloating

I've been taking Nexium for the last two weeks (and before that Prilosec for a couple weeks), and I have the worst belching and bloating. I've actually lost weight because I always feel full and have no appetite. Any suggestions to reduce the gas? Or should I ask to switch to another PPI?

Well, I stopped taking Nexium today and I feel 50% better already. Appetite is up, belching is down, and stomach pain is subsiding. I'm afraid to try another PPI right now, so I'm going to stick with Zantac and Carafate until I can't stand it any longer. Any recommendations on PPI's to try? Clearly whatever is in Prilosec and Nexium doesn't agree with my stomach!
