Common Questions and Answers about Prevacid weight gain

prevacid

Avatar n tn I believe that prevacid can cause weight gain ..seems so many babies are now diagnosed with reflux we used to call it cholic and wait for it to pass now seems they put them on meds.Still your doctor would know the answer, I think its the meds and whilst you child ius on them he may gain weight.good luck once he is off the meds he may go down to a normal weight.

388842 tn?1221748498 She has poor weight gain and is simply miserable most of the time. Is it possible that the blood test for food allergies or gluten allergy could be wrong? Is there any other tests that might help figure out what is going on?
547002 tn?1219797376 s. Speech problems, confusion, aching joints, fatigue, water retention, weight gain and anxiety. I went off of it Aug 20, 2015 and intended to go off cold turkey but read your post and others that do not recommend this. I am going to get Zantac and then slowly get off of it. You are right, PPIs are poison! I probably have zero B-12 in my body. Getting B12 supplements also. Thank you for your post. Looking forward to life again.

454677 tn?1206687563 and the GI said NOT IN HER HEAD and she was eating and gaining weight bcz of the ulcer which created hunger pangs!!!!! After 3 mos on Prevacid she was healed and stopped gaining .. about 5lbs a month!!!! One other really quick ? is that the gallbladder can dysfunction and appear normal on ultrasounds, bloodwork, etc. There is a high level test that will determine if it is dysfunctioning called a HIDA Scan ...
Avatar f tn A 5Ib weight gain during the first trimester of pregnancy and degree of nausea are not good indicators that you might have multiples.
Avatar f tn Thank you for answering!
Avatar m tn After taking Prevacid, I gain my appetite back. The problem is, I have develope new symptoms after taking prevacid for 1 week. I am having very loose bowel movements, blood on the toliet paper when I wipe, indigestion, lower abdominal pain. Most importantly is I am having more frequent heartburn and chest pain, which I don't have when I am on the H2 blocker.
Avatar n tn I did go to the GYN who said the cyst was normal, but did a blood test to check for thyroid condition because of my abnormal periods and weight gain. TSH was low and the GYN told me to go to the PCP, I did and he did another blood test to confirm and to test T3 and T4. T3 and T4 was high, he has referred me to an Endocrinologist who I'll see on the 19th of October. I have hyperthyroidism symptoms, except I am gaining weight instead of losing it, and I am doing all I can to lose.
Avatar f tn Started gaining weight right away. Then started losing weight again. It took another year before they found it again through giardiasis antigen test. Took tinadazole again this time nothing happened. The symptoms got worse. I have now been tested again with a positive result again. At this point I feel like I'm never going to get rid of it waiting for gastroenterologist to tell me what to do next.
Avatar f tn Hi, thanks for the comment. His only true symptoms were loss of appetite, fullness/bloated feelings, and stomach aches when he eats anything more than a few bites. Unfortunately, this all caused him weight loss and now short stature. We just went to the doctor and he has not gained any weight yet. We're really pushing him to try to eat. Also, he takes a prevacid daily. Good luck to you with your hp and hopefully your symptoms go away soon too.
Avatar n tn t consistent with fluid retention, but what else would cause the weight gain? These are perflexing questions causing me a great deal of frustration. Any help before I return to the Gastroenteroligist would be appreciated. Thanks.
Avatar n tn As for the weight loss / weight gain, I am unfortunately one of many who lose weight without the knowledge of how to keep it off. I sincerely wish to lose it again, but I cannot go to the gym with these symptoms. Any advise on what I should do would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and attention. p.s I will be posting this query in multiple areas but that does not mean I value one forum's advise over another's.

Avatar m tn Ok so here is my issue I weigh 230 lbs absolutley unintentional I cannot lose weight no matter what I consume only about a thousand calories a day not because i starve myself because frankly that is my capacity when a growing male my age needs about 2500. Next I have a very very slow digestive system I have GERD take prevacid 30mg twice a day.. After i eat i don't stuff myself I have heaviness and bloating and no amount of exercise can reduce even a pound combined with diet.
Avatar n tn I have been dealing with abdomen pain (which at times can be quite severe), lower back pain, right hip pain (in the groin/joint area), fatigue, weight gain, constipation, and pain when having a bowel movement. I was referred to a GI specialist who ordered a CT of the abdomen and pelvis. The only thing that came back was a "4.9 cm well defined, thin walled cystic lesion at midline in posterior culdesac?...possible GI duplication cyst?....unclear....endemetrioma is not excluded....
Avatar f tn You won't gain weight until later...
Avatar m tn s functioning adequately. Digestion issues, weight gain or inability to lose weight, body aches/pains and blood pressure issues can all be symptoms of hypothyroidism (under active thyroid). Ask your doctor to test TSH, Free T3 and Free T4.
Avatar f tn Of course you'll gain weight.
Avatar f tn Aww don't worry. In my experience, weight gain tends to stall at the end.
Avatar f tn had no real concerns only that due to my son suffering from GERDs, she saw in the xray that the bile is backing up into the stomach. This was the same thing she told me 3 years ago and prescribed Prevacid and now prescribed Nexium. There were bad news, however, when the Dr. got the results from the sonogram. She found a lesion on my son's pancreas and the liver is enlarged. Lab results also show the liver enzymes slightly higher. A CT Scan is pending (in 2 weeks!).
