My numbers are perfect, according to the doctor, however, I am always tired, have reflux problems that the gastro doesn't understand why, I am constantly having hard stools, not gaining or losing weight, and getting very frustrated.

HPylori hides out in the outlet of the stomach, the first stage of the intestine, then when the good bacteria is killed off, the HPylori flourishes, and causes a large increase in stomach acid, which also inflames the esophagus, this is why you have stomach pain and chest pain when you have a battle with this bacteria, The treatment for this bacteria is two types very strong (Not just one) Anti-biotics and an acid pump prohibitor like prilosec or omeprazole, The anti-biotic dosage can be as hig
Hello,
I am curious that if my symptoms are "prilosec" related, how soon should they subside after stopping the medication?
I have been on the medication for about 4 months and my symptoms have been diarreah the whole time taking the meds and pvc's (palpitations) for the last two months. I've already had a full cardio workup too.
Thank you so much. I can't seem to find anywhere on the internet on when my symptoms should subside after stopping prilosec.
I am having trouble finding out what is a safe maximum dosage of Diamox for psuedotumor cerebri. When I had asked my daughters neurologist this question, she said there is no maximum dosage which I found hard to believe that there wouldn't be a max dose on any medication.
My daughter is 15 yrs old and had been prescribed a total of 2500 mg per day divided into 3 doses.
Does anyone know the max dose for diamox?
Thanks!
discomfort swallowing, if those symptoms come back, I will definitely go back on two doses per day. My daughter has been on Prilosec/Nexium for years for Reflux. Over the past 9 mos. she has developed a severely distended stomach, stomach pain, chronic gas problems & a small amount of blood in her urine (can be a side effect of Prilosec). Our gastroenterologist asked her, as well, to try one dose of Prilosec per day to see if that improves these symptoms.
I’ve read that the average dosage for adults is 30 mg/day. I’m a 25 year old male. I weigh 220 lbs. and am 5’11”. The only other medication I’m on is 100 mg of Zoloft/day for the treatment of depression. I have no prior medical issues. What would be the appropriate dosage range for me if I were to take this medication? I’ve read that it may have negative effects on the heart. I’m considering talking with my PCP about this but am trying to find out on my own first. Would 60 mg/day be too much?
I have been on reflux meds for the past 5yrs and have had numerous side effects from hyperhydrosis, a tremor in my hand (which I was on propranolol for about 1yr 9mths for), and most recently a tic has developed in my eyelids. The hydrosis has finally went away (4.5yrs later) and the hand tremor is minimal but my eyelids are going nuts. I am assuming its the drugs for reflux (I am having surgery for that soon). Does anyone know of anything else that would be causing this?
Oh, my, MB, THIS is where you belong! For sure, for sure! For one thing so many of us already know you. For another, Autoimmune Encephalitis is the closest mimic to MS that is known. So we here are going through very much what you are going through. We already have 2 others here as permanent members who have been diagnosed with ADEM (Acute Disseminated EncephaloMyelitis). Santana is one and I can't remember right off the other.
So we talk about it all the time.
Been on Synthroid for many years and Prilosec for over 3 years I think. I was also told to take the Synthroid in the am and Prilosec in pm. I had not considered Prilosec as a possible reason, but I had noticed that my temp. had gone down and I felt the need for more thyroid. When I understood the need to check free T3 and the doctor checked it, I found that I was not converting T4 to T3 very well. So starting 4 days ago, I was switched to a T4/T3 type of med.---Armour thyroid.
my 14 weeks baby girl weighing 12 pounds spits up at least 3 to 4 times every feed (4 feeds per day) and she burps many times as well and she gets all cranky and fussy while burping or spitting.. She doesn't cry excessively but she just seems annoyed and we need to keep distracting her..
My first thought was it was my Levoxyl, but I have been taking it for nearly 5 years (thyroidectomy for cancer), and taking that particular pill (88mcg) for over a year. My dosage had been increased slightly four weeks earlier by alternating the 88 mcg every other day with a 100 mcg. The rash faded, but returns nearly every morning and usually fades after about an hour.
Pylori), a diet high in protein or a medication. In the infection senario, a PPI, i.e. Prilosec and something for the infection is prescribed. Best person to sort this out would be the GI Specialist.
If you are in the USA, Prilosec is available OTC, however, I am not sure about the strength/dosage available or cost.

I have been having some GI issues for almost 2 months now and was first diagnosed with Gastritis. For the Gastritis I was given 15 days worth of Prilosec. While on the Prilosec (and before) I had diarrhea and loose stools every day. Being as I was having that before, I never attributed it to the Prilosec but now I'm questioning whether or not the Prilosec contributed to the loose bowel movements as I am now back on Prilosec and am having loose stools once again.
ve been taking PRILOSEC OTC (non-prescription) for quite awhile, after years on the original prescription brand Prilosec. With my current insurance I can save money by getting generic prescription omeprazole.
Now, in the past I wouldn't have been as concerned about it. Back before losing weight improved my *symptomatic" acid reflux, I would have just thought, "well, if you don't have an increase in heartburn, the generic rx is working just as well as Prilosec OTC.
