prevacid

Avatar m tn I was hoping you guys could help me.I was having some minor stomach issues. swallowing was a little hard, so I went to the DR. We did a endoscope. He found: H. Pylori associated moderate chronic gastritis with some signs of intestinal metaplasia. Right now I'm taking the Prevpac (triple therapy) for the bacterium. Will this type of gastritis eventually resolve itself when the bacterium is removed?
619150 tn?1247048274 Colon was fine, was diagnosed with Gastritis. Was given PrevPac, while taking that I had upset stomach in morning. But after vomiting one morning that went away. Started to feel good again. Then PrevPac ran out... Started to feel ill again. Now on Prevacid. I was 220 lb when this all started in Sept. It lingered at around 195 for awhile when I was feeling better. Now I am down to 188. Is this normal?
Avatar f tn Hi everyone, My mom was recently diagnosed with Hep C associated cirrhosis. She has had some complications, including esophageal varices and ascites. She remains fairly well compensated and does not exhibit symptoms such as fatigue or confusion. During an endoscopy her doctor also noticed an ulcer and tested her for H pylori (which was positive). He's prescribed Prevpac to kill the bacteria and heal the ulcer.
Avatar f tn The doctor prescribed Prevpac. This medicine is very strong and always have bad taste in my mouth. Now I have been taking this medicine for five days. I still feel pain in the stomach especially in the early morning time close to 5 am. My question is if I am having pain due to the bacteria then by taking this medicne when should I start feeling comfortable. Could it be I have some other condition?
1763947 tn?1334055319 An ulcer? Yikes. Have you tried a Prevpac for that? I tested high in h.pylori early on, so they had me stop my abx to take the Prevpac (which includes Biaxin and Amoxicillin.) It definitely reduced my stomach pain.
1806721 tn?1554333407 Hi, my doc put me on 14d Prevpac treatment today. I've been taking Prilosec during the past month or so to get my symptoms under control. It works quite well for me. I have never taken Prevacid before. Are these two the same thing? Can I use Prilosec to substitute the Prevacid in the pack? I'm scared of stopping Prilosec as my symptoms always get worse when I tried to wean myself off the drug in the past.
Avatar n tn My husband started on 14 days of prevpac 4 days ago and is now experiencing extreme lack of energy and tiredness--very hard for him to get up in the a.m. and he is exhausted by 2 or 3 p.m. Could this be a side effect of the drugs?

Avatar n tn I feel the antibiotic company is getting a good sum of money. Lots of human being are taken this Prevpac treatment. Accordingly to them it works but why it keeps coming back.
Avatar m tn I had gasteritus but I finished my pills (prevpac). I have tightness in my left shoulder and it has a little lumb on the bottom of the shoulder. I have discomfort in my whole body and cant find relief.
Avatar n tn that burrows its way into the lining of your stomach making you sick..did they give you antibiotics for it? i was dx with it in jan. 2009 and did 2 weeks of prevpac, and am currently waiting for EGD to be done next wed. to check for inflammation and a biopsy if its still there..
Avatar n tn I have this weird taste in my mouth as well. I was taking a prevpac for 14 days and I thought that would take care of the weird body odor as well as kill off the pylori bugs. My stomach feels better but I still smell weird? I also have bright red blood in my stool with each stool. At this point I have no idea what's going on. My pancrease, liver, spleen, and kidneys are normal. I had elevated amlyse levels but no symptomatic pancrease issues.
Avatar n tn Stomach ulcers are caused by the bacteria h.pylori. There is a combination of antibiotics that has a good chance of curing the infection. They are usually sold as "PrevPac" and you take them for 10-14 days, depending on what your doctor says. However, stomach pain is not always caused by an ulcer. Antibiotics will not help with other causes, and could possibly even make your stomach pain worse. Be sure to talk to your doctor.
Avatar m tn on 9th Day of Prevpac, I have noticed my pee sometimes get considerably yellow and foamy. After I pee there is a slight burn at the end of the urethra.. I am not sure if this is a UTI or just symptoms effects of other things.
Avatar m tn I took one dose of clarithromycin in a PrevPac yesterday (first day) and I started having chest pains last evening, anxiety (suicidal thoughts), weakness, couldn't think, etc..I'm stopping immediately. Just continuing with the Amoxicillin.
Avatar n tn My wife has what appears to be a digestive problem. She has suffered with it now for four months. We are on our second gastrointerologist without relief. Her symptoms are as follows: 1. Burning sensation and pain in the sternum area. The burning and pain comes and goes but is occurring frequently. 2. Burning sensation rising from the sternum area up the esophagus to her neck. However there is not regurgitation of stomach acid. 3. Constant metallic/bitter taste in her mouth. 4.
Avatar f tn h.pylori is a good place to start, my sister is going through it right now and has been going through it for the last 6 months, its pretty hard to treat but antibiotics work.
Avatar m tn Also the pain seems to get worse towards the end of the day. He is miserable and frustrated. He had the prevpac which he finished today and is still in alot of pain. He has an appointment in four weeks with the doctor to see if the bacteria was destroyed but i was wondering how long would it take for him to start feeling better? is there anything else i can do for him? we are very worried and frustrated at this point.
1806721 tn?1554333407 foods made with white flour [breads, crackers], white rice, potatoes, and of course sugary foods and drinks. Avoid them at all cost. This will help control and manage your blood sugars. Bottom line, continue to get tested until your doctor verifies the cause. If he/she doesn't feel concerned go find a doctor that does. It took six doctors until I found one that cared about my health.
Avatar m tn I want to become a mother again. I have a 19 y/o. I am a newly wed. My husband has no children we are considering IVF but it is so costly. Not sure if I am able d/t high FSH. didn't get result for AMH as of yet. But if its not possible for me to have one biologically we are considering using DE. My question. Is it cheaper using a family or friend as a donor in comparison using an anonymous donor. Where I am living, it cost $16,500 for DE...IVF cost almost $20,000.
Avatar f tn Oh my goodness! That is so expensive. Here in new zealand all medical care is absolutely free. It seems unethical to charge someone to give birth!
Avatar f tn Can anyone give me a ballpark of the cost for the suppressant drugs after a transplant. Just want to get an idea, know no one can give me exacts but any info would help. Thanks.
