Common Questions and Answers about Prilosec and infant reflux

prilosec

Avatar f tn if i may chime in... did you nurse and pump or only pump? It is possible your supply tanked simply because some people don't respond well to pumps, or you didn't have a good pump (hospital grade), or you didn't pump frequently enough (15 minutes every 2 hours). Like Peek said, it could've been totally out of your hands. I know someone who tried every pump under the sun but couldn't get a drop. When her son finally learned to nurse months later, she had plenty to nourish him.
Avatar f tn I've had occassional PVC's for 20 plus years. I also have Mitral Valve Prolaps. About 2 months ago I started taking Prilosec for reflux. I then began to have a huge increase in the number of PVC's. Sometimes lasting all day. I've been on an event monitor for the past 2 weeks. I didn't even think that to relate this increase in PVC's to the Prilosec until about a week ago.
168348 tn?1379357075 She got much worse on the Prilosec, and then I figured out it has dairy lactose in it. We put her on compounded Prevacid, and suddenly she got better. She was dairy intolerant and I'm sure that the lactose bothered her. I've heard a lot of mom's say the same thing, even though their doctors tell them it's not possible. It's too bad that they aren't making the Prevacid powder packets anymore, because they were dairy-free. I hope your little one feels better soon!
Avatar m tn If so are H2 meds like Pepcid and Zantac ok, or are PPI meds like Prilosec and Prevacid better? Thanks and have a great day!
Avatar n tn My doctor diagnosed me almost a year ago with "the worst case of acid reflux [she'd] ever seen." Literally, I would drink a glass of water and get reflux issues. I was put on Nexium for a long time, and I have since switched to Prilosec OTC because I ran out of health insurance. It's been about five days on Prilosec but I keep feeling nauseous in the morning after I take it, but it's nothing too bad and it goes away fairly quickly.
1551963 tn?1302292732 m wondering if the medications for gerd and acid reflux can cause high bloodpreasure and palpatations. i suffered with acid reflux for years and then i got on some prilosec and my symptoms went away but i started getting bad head aches and it felt like my heart was skipping so i went to the doc and he said i had high blood preasure but my colesteral was good. I then changed my diet and wheened myself off the prilosec and all the symptoms went away.
620923 tn?1452915648 How long have you been taking prilosec and did your doctor say your AR is related to Chiari?
Avatar n tn Is it safe to take 60mg of prevacid in the morning and 20 mg of prilosec in the evening?
Avatar n tn With in the past two years I have taken her off of any meds as I have learned what causes her reflux to flare up. She will still have some episodes here and there.But my main concern is her weight gain with this ever since age 3 she has kept all her weight in her belly and she is now 74 lbs and just under 4 feet tall now dont get me wrong she is a big girl (her dad is 6'7 and i am 5'8) .But she has a prutruding belly...
5609044 tn?1383514943 I take prilosec. It's the ONLY thing that works for me. Tums is a temporary fix and milk is not good at all. Milk is actually acidic which makes it worse in the long run. But one prilosec daily I could eat whatever I wanted! It is pricey though but I promise its worth it! Tums is cheaper but there is a reason for that you know?
Avatar m tn My husband has acid reflux as well, and after a few prescription medications, he found that Prilosec was the only thing that helped him. You can buy this over-the-counter. Trouble swallowing is part of acid reflux, and before Prilosec, my husband had this really bad. It would scare him so much that he'd have to get up and walk around because he felt like he was choking. I bought him the Prilosec and that never happened again.
Avatar f tn This may be contributing to your increased breathing problems at night. Zantac and Prilosec might take a little time to work, and if the Symbicort is causing an increase in your stomach acid, it could be harder to control the GERD at night. If you feel this is the case, talk to your doctor.
Avatar m tn About two weeks ago, I had a 24 hour type stomach virus that included vomiting and body aches, but no diarrhea. Following that episode, I had a consistent acid reflux problem that included upper chest and esophageal burning, as well as upper chest discomfort that would be relieved by changing position or belching. I started watching my diet, eating less at dinner and cutting back the acid producers as well as snacks.
Avatar n tn I have actually been on some form of reflux med for a bit longer than 5yrs and started with Prilosec OTC, then prescription Prilosec, Nexium, Aciphex, and briefly Prevacid. These days I tend to take whatever I have in my medicine cabinet (Aciphex or Prevacid) twice a day, max dosage, and occasionally a tagamet to help out. I have a hiatial hernia that is going to be fixed soon so I am hoping to get off the meds and that the side effects will eventually go away...I hope.
Avatar m tn I had many problems with heartburn, and Reflux, mainly the result of Radiation to my Esophogus, Over the years I had many problems with swallowing food getting stuck. I have had 20 + Endoscopy's. finally my Doctor sent me to an Allergist, I found out I was Allergic to many many Foods, Ingredients. I f I / you can Avoid many of these foods it will help tremendously with Reflux and Heart Burn. it may not solve all the Problems it'll help alot.
1296528 tn?1272524830 I have not gotten one single case of heartburn since I started the gabapentin. I used to be on 2 prilosec a day and am now down to one. That last one is more a psychological thing I think but I plan on eventually getting rid of that last prilosec at some point. Note: I have a lesion on the basel ganglia area of my brain which I have been told can affect digestion so gabapentin might not work to relieve heartburn if you do not have a lesion in this area.
Avatar n tn I'm taking omeprazole(prilosec) and have been since I was about 16weeks I couldn't eat or drink even water it was so bad I didn't wanna take any medicine either but it was so bad and the Dr assured me it was safe.
Avatar n tn I have been taking Prilosec for a few years now to battle my acid reflux. I have recently had a lot of problems getting pregnant due to ovarian cysts. I have cut out all caffeine, gone on a diet, begun exercising, but nothing is working to get rid of them. I have cysts in my liver as well. I'm just wondering if the Prilosec has anything to do with the cysts. This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.
Avatar f tn I have had acid reflux for 11 years now and has been pretty manageable til recently I have been experiencing excessive burping, heart pain, stomache aches and gas with sometimes painful bowel movements. I was on prilosec otc and it does not appear to do very much for my symptoms. I currently do not have insurance and cant afford to go to the doctors for multiple tests. Is there any treatments that i could try or maybe a different medication to relieve these symptoms?
Avatar f tn Pepcid, or prilosec can work, plus tums smoothies!! I found prilosec worked best, and lasted me 24-48 hours. My third pregnancy I would wake up in the middle of the night coughing up acid, it was horrible!!!
Avatar f tn So, knowing that, I took the approach of making sure I always had some food handy to eat and that has helped quite a lot. If I had full blown acid reflux disease I would have chosen to take the Prilosec. Good luck.
454221 tn?1259445739 t know the effects of take prilosec now? Does anyone know about prilosec and pregnancy? Is it safe to take or is there something else out there better. I have a doctors appt. on Thursday and hate waiting to know if prilosec is safe or not. I'm going to try and not take it till I see the doctor.
Avatar m tn Would still be interested in any experiences with generic prescription omeprazole, as compared to prescription Prilosec and Prilosec OTC.
Avatar n tn BP and some other medications cause the valve that separates the esophagus form the stomach to relax and this allows vapors and or stomach acid to creep up into the esophagus and causes indigestion and Gerd or Acid Reflux. If that is the case Prilosec may help.
Avatar f tn My doctor told me I can take Prilosec OTC everyday for preventative measures. My acid reflux was sooo terrible it would keep me up at night and I would just eat tums. I'm almost 39 weeks and it has subsided these last 2-3 weeks on it's own, thank goodness.
1364792 tn?1278051187 If you think you might have acid reflux and your doctor gave you omeprazole to take and you take it but dont actually have acid reflux would that hurt you or just do nothing?
