Avatar f tn But I have really bad acid reflux since. My doctor suggested I increase my omeprazole 20mg to twice a day which have done for 5 days now but it's still not getting any better. I wake up in morning with a mouth full if acid. Its horrid. I'm also having to take gaviscon in between (2 hours after) has anyone got any other suggestions? I've been eating small meals, only drinking flavoured water, eating plain foods.
Avatar m tn Following a valve replacement and triple bypass I was discharged from Hospital with a number of drugs and a new one being Omeprazole. I did not know why it was prescribed but after a number of months taking it I decided after discussion with my Doctor to stop taking it. A few months later through the night I got this terrible chest pain on a scale of 1-10 I guess it was 7-8.
Avatar m tn Hey guys, posting here again. I posted a question here on Feb 18th about stomach pains I had. Well these pains are back now. I think it may be an ulcer or inflammation of some kind. The last time I had this problem I got some Omeprazole off my doctor. I finished those and the pains came back last week so I got some more on Tuesday. Problem is that not it's a lot worse. I haven't ate or slept in 4 nights and I'm now starting to get constipated. Some thing I've never been before!
Avatar n tn I take my Omeprazole like a good boy daily around 7am before breakfast, but by midmorning the burning has reared its ugly head and Gaviscon and a Tagamet to temper the burning. I have also begun taking another 40mg Omeprazole at night to deal with any nighttime discomfort. I realize I am playing doctor by upping and adding to my current regimen but that is all know.
Avatar f tn Is anyone else struggling with acid reflux? I am on medication, gaviscon, and rennie given to me by my obstetrician but still struggling. How is everyone else coping?
Avatar f tn I'm living with a bottle of gaviscon by the side of the bed and drinking milk.
Avatar m tn After a few weeks and several laxatives later (lactulose, suppositries, movicol) and stomach remedies ( senna, gaviscon) she is still experiencing pain. Blood tests for sugar (diabetes), blood count, iron, liver function, thyroid have all come back negative/normal as has urine tests and a stool sample for h.pylori. Also a pelvic scan was normal. She has been on omeprozole liquid 5ml at night) for just over 2 weeks and was taking gaviscon before meals twice a day.
1709162 tn?1314084832 To assist with the pain for now, try something like Maalox, Gaviscon, or Pepto Bismol. When I have a flare up of GERD one of those 3 things usually help me immensely. Good luck!
Avatar n tn We have seen the doctor who has prescribed Omeprazole, Buscopan, Pirizetin, Gaviscon and Ondansetron. Nothing has worked. She has missed quite a lot of school as she just can't concentrate due to feeling so sick. The school have been fabulous and she is now able to leave the class to have a bit of fresh air and a gaviscon and some water when needed. She loves school and is doing really well.
Avatar f tn You need to get yourself some gaviscon, and make an apt with your doc, he may be able to give you something else. I am just on gaviscon at the mo though. It is safe to have in pregnancy.
Avatar m tn while taking the tablet Omeprazole they tell you not to take with any other indigestion remedies,? Why give me Gaviscon ???
20110020 tn?1490347477 Omeprazole, Nexium Control, Buscopan, Fybogel, Cyclizine Hydrochloride, Tums, Vitamin Supplements If I had to describe my symptoms in a sentence, it would be: A regular feeling of nausea and stomach discomfort accompanied by differing bowel movements. I am only 26 and I am at a loss at what to do. It is constantly getting me down and I get upset and angry because I just want to feel normal. The fact that tests and scans show nothing yet I clearly feel unwell is frustrating too.
Avatar f tn Apple cider vinegar! About a teaspoon mixed with 8 oz of water, I drink with a straw to protect teeth. It's nasty and the first5 minutes seem counterproductive but that's the only thing that got me through my pregnancy!
Avatar f tn It seems to help if I eat small servings throughout the day, rather than a large dinner, eating breakfast or a light lunch does not trigger it, only dinner. The Omeprazole or Prilosec helps with the reflux, but does nothing for the bloating pain. You can try Simethicone, (GasX) may help.
Avatar f tn Dear, we have answered all of the same questions in length and given you different ideas, including advice to start addressing anxiety. You continue to ask the same questions, which is even more indication that you're dealing with some kind of anxiety. I know it's hard to believe sometimes that anxiety would cause such symptoms, but it does.

Avatar f tn Several days a week I deal with sever acid reflux I think...its a burning sensation in my throat and feels like something is hung in the middle of my throat. Mostly with spaghetti and foods of that nature so I cut them out of diet. However It occurs at random, any suggestions on how to ease that.
675823 tn?1226154974 s safe to take Omeprazole (a PPI) with something like Maalox or Gaviscon, but wait at least an hour or 2 between each: don't take them at the same time. During this time, try this recipe: 1 teaspoon each chamomile flowers, lemon balm leaves and licorice root ½ teaspoon slippery elm bark ¼ teaspoon each fennel seeds and catnip leaves 1½ cups boiling water 1½ cups carrot or apple juice (optional) Combine herbs and pour boiling water over them.
170935 tn?1225371076 In the meantime, try taking an antacid to help with any possible acid problems. Omeprazole (Prilosec OTC) would be the hammer here, but it might be too much of a good thing. Try first Gaviscon (or something with alginic acid). If that doesn't work, Try something like Pepcid Complete (H2-inhibitor + acid neutralizer). If those don't work pretty much immediately (Pepcid may take a couple of days) then move on to the omeprazole, which is a proton pump inhibitor.
