prevacid and gluten

But I followed up with my primary doctor and she told me that I should just take the Prevacid and not worry about the xrays and such. That acid reflux is "normal" and Prevacid will help it. And it did. Or maybe I was thinking it was. Until I ran out of it about 3 weeks ago. The bloat has been back with a vengeance, and today something different has been happening. My stomach/abdomen started hurting in the lower right area, coupled with gas pains.

Just the other day I heard that this might be a gluten intolerance and I am considering cutting glutens on a trial basis to see if I feel better. My symptoms are pretty much daily, and I have learned to live with them but I'd rather not!

(My Question is) Are the other people affected taking Prevacid, and Lisinopril. I am wondering if there is a corilation.I want to know that if this mix causes constipation and then heart problems. I believe it does. Some one that is qualified please answer this question.

two of them had reflux and had to take prevacid. Once they had been gluten free for about a year, they were able to go off the prevacid. I've considered dropping wheat and milk because i hear that it helps with chronic pain.

Started Prevacid and also Strattera for ADD. We were able to wean off of the Prevacid and just stick to Strattera, as our peds thinks the Strattera helps him with the anxiety related to the GERD, and therefore he had no complaints of symptoms of GERD. In March we went off of the Strattera, and within 4 weeks the symptoms of GERD re-appeared ( Not eating, coughing, feeling like something is caught in his throat.) We went back on Strattera and Prevacid.

I have a 3 year old with the same type of symptoms. Our doctor took her off the prevacid and put her on a generic form of zantac. The one we started on was a liquid it was very spendy. now she is on a capsule that I give her the poder inside this has worked well for us because I can put the powder in almost anything. ex pb&j sandwich, applesauce, yogurt, I have even mixed it in with some of her drinks.

not just from wheat, but barley, beer, soy sauce, oats, rye--of course all breads, pizza, pastries, etc. Gluten is also sometimes a hidden ingredient in processed foods. She hasn't had a bout since--except when she slipped and ate breaded shrimp--and her stomach swelled up and became painful.

i see my neuro next week and am hoping to increase my flexeril. i just started with the vit d, and have read that it helps a lot with pain. thoughts?

Hi, Since January I have been having problem when I drink alcohol. I INSTANTLY retain water and can't pee it out! For years, whenever I drank alcohol I would pee it out all night and even feel lighter the next day. Now, after just a few sips I can feel the water coming on, and I will be a few lbs heavier over the next 2-3 days. It's horrible to not be able to enjoy drinking anymore and I love doing it socially! What can be causing this?

My daughter also takes pentasa and WAS taking prevacid. The prevacid didn't seem to help her and our GI switched her to prilosec. My daughter has had no complaints with the prilosec. Both prevacid and prilosec have the same actions so they do the same things. The only interaction that I know of with prevacid and penicillin is with a type of penicillin called Ampicillin and it may inhibit the absorption of the prevacid.

The doctor put him on prevacid and thought that acid reflex could have inflammed the entire GI tract leading to bowels to stop, creating an infection occurring in high fever. However, the symptoms have started to occur once again but with less frequency slowly happening more often. We are going to see GI specialist in 2 days but just wondering if anyone else has had similar symptoms or ideas of what to check for. Thank You!

My GI thinks I have reflux but we haven't done an endoscopy. He said my stomach pain coupled with "burning" are signs of the reflux. I was on a Prevacid for a while and things got better and stayed better for a long time, so he took my off it as a trial. Now its back and I tried the Prevacid again, but its not working. We're thinking about trying Prilosec (sorry if its spelled wrong) OTC. Right now I'm just taking Tums until we decide. Does the prilosec work well?

After the upper endoscopy I was told I had a Hital Hernia right below my sternum where I have been having pain and that my stomach had redness. He took biopsies to check for celiac (gluten intolerance), and H. Pyroli bacteria. He didn't tell me much other than what he saw. I looked up what the hernia is online. My question is what caused it to randomly start giving me pain, why is my stomach red, and what does all this mean for me in the future.

This morning, I took my Prevacid (3rd day) and got SO dizzy and SO nauseous. 30 minutes later, I threw up a little bit but not much at all (more dry heaving and a bit of bile). My symptoms are back now (gas, belching, trouble getting a deep breath in, minor troubles swallowing, more belching, etc.). Should I continue with the Prevacid tomorrow? Is there any chance it will work? Should I drop down to 15mg? I don't know what to do but need relief.

They are talking about re-testing her for a gluten allergy and Celiac.. unfortunatly they do blood tests for those and she has been tested for those before as well as the h-pylori at the same time all were neg.. all to find out that the h-pylori was a pos. Yea her tummy hurts at school... home... car... anywhere. It doesnt matter if shes haveing a blast or resting, just ate or hungry.. The burning is new and I did ask and they dont think it is the prevacid.

I have had elevated liver enzymes on and off for over 15 years. The ALT and AST have at the most doubled. I have celiac disease and have avoided gluten for 8 years. My last alt was slightly elevated at 52, but ast and all other livers were normal. My cholesterol was 212.

m terrified to try a medication with the chance of getting into something with dairy/lactose in it. What do other people with a dairy (including lactose and casein) and gluten intolerance do for heartburn meds? I'm desperate! Please help.

I'm a 42 year old female. I am having, within 2-3 hours of eating, EXTREME bloating ... so bad that it becomes hard to breathe. It usually takes 1-2 hours to go away. I've tried to determine if it's a particular food causing this, but cannot find any patterns. I have also had pretty bad constipation lately as well. I am also EXTREMELY thirsty all the time and have a gland that swells up in my chin ... just below my lips.

Prevacid is a Protein Pump Inhibitor (PPI) like Aciphex, Nexium and Prilosec. It's indicated for GERD (chronic acid reflux) and as far as I know has nothing to do with treating Hep C, other than if you happen to have GERD. I believe Prilosec is a generic sold OTC but not 100% sure so speak to your doctor and pharmacist regarding switching off.

i take prevacid for my gerd, can this cause atrial fibrillation This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/937646'>acid reflux</a>.

In July i was having some swallowing problems or thought i was and they did an EGD and found nothing but a VERY tiny hiatal hernia. My stomach lining was nice and pink. I had been taking prevacid for two weeks prior to the EGD due to the trouble swallowing NOW i want to stop taking the prevacid and every time i try i get really sick. I get weak, nauseaus and for a day or two i literally go to the bathroom constantly and have loose yellow stools with stomach cramps.

The first thing that happens is the breathing issue and those dang heart palpitations. Now, I read labels like crazy scanning for wheat and gluten, and bake my own gluten-free breads. My cardiologist NEVER thought of this angle; he just kept throwing more pills at me to take, which weren't helping, including switching me to channel blockers, which were even worse! I'd gotten to the point that I told my hubby that I thought I was actually dying. No; I KNOW I was dying.

I've had a chronic condition for about 6 months. Syptoms include fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, reoccuring flu, gas, hot and cold flashes (I'm only 31, not pregnant). I've had a CT scan of abdomen, head, and sinus, X-ray, upper ultrasound, various blood tests that came back negative.

She has had a colon scope, upper GI, endoscope, CT Scan , X-Ray with no diagnosis. She took allergy tests and was found to be lactose ( mildly) and Fructose ( more so ) allergic. We eliminated all these substances from her diet, including the kid vitamens that contain these ingredients. No improvement. We also tried Prevacid for a possible stocmach acid or reflux issue. We even considered this could be a mental issue and continue to go to sessions so she can deal with the pain.
