Common Questions and Answers about Lidocaine in gi cocktail

lidoderm

Avatar m tn I have a compound for carafate, lidocaine, and Benadryl. When it was mixed, it was liquid and now it's clumped and formed a gel-like. Is this supposed to be like that?
Avatar f tn At first, they could control these spasms by a few pain shots, a GI cocktail which is lidocaine and Maalox I think and IV Tagamet. The spasms and vomiting would stop after 30 minutes. But, I had to start taking increasing amounts of opioids for my complex regional pain syndrome. So pain shots didn't work anymore, GI cocktail stopped working as well as IV Tagamet. They would load me up with anti-emetics such as Reglan.
Avatar n tn 2 years ago I took him to a Pediatric GI....The Dr was a IDIOT....My son was scared to let the Dr examine him...The Dr then said to my son "do you need a shot"....Wrong thing to say to a kid who is afraid to be examined..... What should I do?...I think I may know find another Pediatric GI....If someone could write back I would greatly appreciate it...
Avatar f tn d probably consider it non-life threatening, give you a GI cocktail and send you home. As soon as you get insurance, find a good GI doc and get it checked into. In the meantime consider a low fat diet to try to see if that keeps the symptoms down.
Avatar n tn The first day it started I had severe burning in my chest and was given the same GI Cocktail. the next day I had cold symptoms then Bronchitis. this lasted for two weeks. This past weekend I had more buring in the chest and throat and vomited acid. I went to the emergency room and took the other GI cocktail, which relieved it for about an hour. today I woke up with the same burning but now have swollen glands like I would with a cold. Is this all related?
Avatar n tn The doctor has given me a running prescription of GI cocktail and I really do not have a clue what I would do without it. It is USUALLY used in the ER/hospital and not typically given as a running prescription, however, I was having to to the ER so much that thank God above, my doc gave me the prescription. I carry it with me everywhere I go, I have it in each room of my house. It is the only thing that I have found that will calm down the spasm. It has Lidocaine in it.
192368 tn?1224204130 Yes! I just watched a video on this a couple of days ago. It is not covered by insurance, but it is a weekly procedure that costs about $55 per visit. They do it through an I.V. and they basically shoot you up with a HUGE dose of vitamins. I'm not exactly sure what is in the cocktail, but I am not surprised that bringing up all of a person's vitamin levels would make them feel a whole lot better and help them to be pain free for a week or so.
Avatar f tn For years I've dealt with this issue, sometimes often, sometimes months apart. Last night I was awoken in severe pain around 3am. The pain is so intense it radiates into my back, up my throat into my jaw and head. It's excruciating pain only slightly helped by drinking ice cold water. I'll continuously keep burping, with an urge to throw up, an intense pressure that my stomach is pushing things up. After 3 hours of crying pain I vomited.
Avatar n tn Have had rectal pain for 2 months, thought it was hemorrhoids, GI and family doctors said it wasn't and didn't know what it was from for sure. Said to see a pain management doctor thinking it is a nerve in my recturm? However, I am confused as to what the pain management dr would do since no definite diagnosis. I tried everything over the counter including lidocaine with no relief. The pain is constant and only relief is when I sleep. Worried!!!
Avatar n tn They told me I had acid reflux and gave me a GI cocktail and told me to take Prilosec OTC. I did this but my chest pain/sensations still were not going away and I would also have some weird sensations in the bend of my left arm. I had to return to the ER a week later for the same symptoms and they gave me another GI cocktail and told me the sensations/pain in my chest and arm were just from anxiety.
Avatar m tn For the past year, my wife has been having almost constant liquid pass and the area around her anus is just totally sore. Our new GI is treating it like IBS/Colitis with wechol and other meds. My wife lost her entire colon to cancer some years ago. They made a J pouch of small intestine and did anastamosis to her anus via stripped rectum (IPAA) and she has always had frequent loose bowel movements, but not liquid.
Avatar n tn However my Gastro DR says no way my hernia is causing this issue. Im on Pepcid, Carafate, GI cocktail, and protonix.
Avatar n tn t wait for a gastroenterologist appointment, you might try the ER/urgent care and see if they will give you a GI cocktail to soothe it. The GI doctor may want to do an EGD test, where they look with a small tube w/camera at your esophagus, stomach and your duodenum (a part of your small intestine) for any abnormalities and then prescribe treatment according to what they find.
1394098 tn?1385960134 They tested for an ulcer and gave me something for the nausea and some kind of malox cocktail with something like lidocaine in it and I did hurt so much. They didn't do an ultrasound. When I woke up today at 6:00 pm the pain had move lower into my abdomin. Is it possible that I am passing a gallstone? I took a laxative yesterday because I have had trouble with my tranverse colon. But this pain is much worse and is a sharp pain that makes it hard to even breathe deeply.
Avatar f tn Unfortunately, I cannot afford to live in the ER to see if I really am having a heart attack and to receive a GI cocktail. The pain is so severe that my PCP has put me on Vicodin for the pain (they normally try to give me narcotics in the ER anyways) but I do not want to keep taking it to get relief. The last time that I met with the PA at my GI, she suggested surgery. I am meeting in a week with another GI for a second opinion. My question is does anyone else suffer like me?
Avatar f tn A few weeks ago my butt was hurting me so bad that I had to go to the emergency room. They gave me Lidocaine there and it numbed the pain. My GI doctor wants me to do a colonoscopy this Friday. I am nervous and don’t know if I can go a whole day without eating. I’m 5’8 160 but just don’t know if I can go a whole day without eating. I’m also nervous about the prep drink too and 2 pills I have to take. The not eating part is bothering me.
Avatar f tn I called them back to tell them the medication (back on double dose Protonic) was not helping. I was barely able to eat at all. They had to prescribe me a GI cocktail to numb my esophagus justo get any relief. I had suspicions it might be hormonal because it seemed like during my periods it would ease up or go away. It is Oct and my last period did seem longer (1 week) but that week was symptom free except for the day I made the mistake and ate some nuts but it was nothing like usual.
Avatar m tn Ran some test and found blood in my stool. Gave me GI Cocktail and sent home. Told to contact my regular Dr. And specialist. So still belching and gas this morning after 36 hours with no dairy. Still no known cause.
Avatar n tn coffee (not boiling but hot / no more than a mouthful). After each incident back pain was appreciated for a few days. GI cocktail and H2 blockers did nothing for the SX, but they did resolve on their own. Current 'back pain' is in same region. Other: No vomiting or stomach upset has been reported. No change in BM pattern. No change in energy level. No epigastric pain, no painful swallowing, and no unusual 'tastes'.Lab work (CBC, CHEM 20) was normal in Jan 2008.
Avatar m tn My doctor prescribed 3% lidocaine/0.5% hydrocortisone cream (which took two days to get). I was also using the hemorrhoid cream. In addition, I was using about 4-5 baby wipes to clean the area each time so that there was not one speck of anythiong left to irritate the hemorrhoids. Interestingly enough, about 6 days after that pain started, it began to decrease and after a couple more days, it was almost gone. I still had the external hemorrhoids but the hemorrhoid cream took care of them.
Avatar f tn The upper testing somewhat confuses me, although I was given a printout replete with 11 vivid pink-and-red photos. The GI doc was much more interested in the lower esophagus than anyplace else. She found an esophageal stricture, possibly due to esophagitis, and performed a dilation. Some inflammation was found in stomach and part of duodenum. Mild gastritis, etc. Several biopsies were done, once again without thinking anything major is going on. I have to take Prilosec and come back, etc.
Avatar f tn I am a 29 yr old female. I started experiencing right side pain that goes from my lower rip down to right above my hip and stretches around my back right side 4 days ago. The pain was very severe... sharp and constant. I went to the ER twice where they performed a CT and ultrasound. They reported I have a kidney stone, but is not the cause of the problem. I had my gullbladder removed 5 months ago and they said the stone hasn't shifted since the CT then.

Avatar n tn I am thinking I get the esphogeal spasms they are very scary and frustrating. I have started taking what is called a gi cocktail. It seems to help when they are really bad. I had them really bad today at work and the gi cocktail did not help much. I did not eat breakfast. I suffered all morning. They stopped after I ate lunch. So I am thinking if you don't skip meals it might help too.
