Re: Have you taken any acid suppression medicines?
I was put on Omeprazole , 18mths approx ago because my diaphragm kept "jumping", I was due to have a foot op & the surgeon wouldn't do it unless it settled down. I've been on them ever since. My gastro-enterologist told me to take Ranitidine instead as my food keeps going straight through, I tried to stop them but got mouthfulls of acid drowing me at night, so now I'm on both and Gaviscon and Loperamide!!! I have slight bile salts abnormality which is the only explanation for my bowel acting up, the Colestagel & Questran both gave me dreafull tummy pains & more acid! So now I live on porridge or rice!Re: Have you taken any acid suppression medicines?
Re: Have you taken any acid suppression medicines?
I have been taking Omeprazole for over 10 years now and the only symptoms I get is when I forget to take it. I was diagnosed with ( and cured of) ulcers some 15 years ago and suffered acid reflux quite badly afterwards until I was put on those tablets. I have no digestive problems now.Re: Have you taken any acid suppression medicines?
Likewise, Alan. Been on it for even longer. Dr doubled the dosage a few years back to 40mg daily.Re: Have you taken any acid suppression medicines?
You mentioned the name Lansoprazole,which i was prescribed this last month, after getting really bad soreness in my upper chest , symptoms came on worse when lying down and bending over .
