Prilosec for gallbladder
Common Questions and Answers about Prilosec for gallbladder
prilosec
Everything came back normal. Yesterday, I stopped taking the prilosec to see if it was giving me gallbladder pain. It seems better....not contracting pain. I still have mild pain. Has anyone else experienced this? Does the gallbladder pain subside or does this mean I have gallbladder issues not showing up on the ultra sound?
and he gave me an abdominal ultrasound and 40mg of Prilosec for 2 weeks. The Prilosec took the edge off but it didn’t make it go away. The ultrasound was fine. I don’t know if this is related, but I seem to have more postnasal drip than normal.
I really want my stomach to feel better. I go back to the dr. next week. He will do an endoscopy if all else fails.
Any ideas of what this is? I thought maybe an ulcer, but I don’t have bloody stools.
but yes nausea is definitely a symptom of gallbladder issues, do you have pain after meals etc? Nausea is a symptom of many problems, for me my gallbladder pain was under my right ribs and into my back and shoulder, with horrible nausea and vomiting. Could also be other GI issues. Have you been to the doctor for any tests yet?
If so did they see anything else like an ulcer? Are you taking Prilosec for the reflux? That will give you diarrhea, it is a side effect of that drug. The other thing that comes to mind with your symptoms is a bladder problem. Do you have any pain on the upper right side or lower right side. If lower right side you may also have an appendix problem instead. But bile comes from the gallbladder and so that is why it is possiblly that.
Doctor reccomended Prilosec OTC. She was still leaning toward gallbladder. Day after started taking Prilosec, pain was the worst it had been at that point. Note, to mitigate the pain, i was taking Ibruprofen. Realizing that if it was an ulcer, I stopped taking the Ibruprofen. Prilosec seemed to help after that.
Felt as if improving. Had HIDA done. Normal results. Day I got the results (before I got them, just to rule out my brain turning against me), started feeling worse.
My doctor said he did not think it was my gallbladder based on the fact that I was still walking around and he instead prescribed 40 MG of the generic for Prilosec. To ease my gallbladder concerns, he also scheduled a sonogram. I was so sure it was my gallbladder that I did not start taking Prilosec for about another week when the pain became almost unbearable and because the sonogram came back normal.
There didn’t appear to be any inflammation or blockage of the gallbladder. Since I got relief from the new diet I ate sugar and gluten for the past day to replicate the symptoms I had before the diet for my Hydrogen Breath year tomorrow. Any thoughts on what might be going on? I suffer from chronic constiparion and have had IBS since I was s teen. I have fibromyalgia and CFS as well. I have felt really good on the diet and will continue it after the test tomorrow.

I had my gallbladder out 1028/08 and have had a burning sensation in my stomach and chest/back throat ever since. It moves around, sometimes only in stomach, etc. Had ERCP at same time as surgery for stone stuck in common duct. Dr. did ANOTHER ERCP last week - he was sure there was another partial blockage. There was nothing! Now burning pain is worse than ever - I've been on Prilosec, Prevacid, Zegerid, reglan, sucralfate, etc. either got no relief or got worse. Dr.
I have had an ultrasound for my gallbladder and that was fine. It showed no stones. I had a scope down to my stomach and they even took a biopsy of the bottom of my stomach and testing for hpylori. It was negative.I am taking Prilosec. It helps sometimes and sometimes it really hurts. I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?
This is day 6 for being on the prilosec and I still wake up nauseated-----how long did it take for the antacid drug to work? Did it take some time to regain your appetite? I eat but have not gained any weight back and I eat small meals---feel almost as bad some days as before the surgery---have had a few days with no nausea but only about 4 days out of two weeks---it is worse in morning and gets better by evening-----was this the same for you?
Having upper GI endoscope tomorrow, have been taking Prilosec daily. Will it have an effect on results?
All this actually started several months ago. My symptoms are rather scattered as well. I was drinking a lot for a while and I switched to bud light lime. After drinking that for about a month I woke up in the middle of the night and had some weird sort of attack. I was sick to my stomach, had horrible heartburn, shoot I can't even remember all the symptoms. It was just bad.
Bowel movements normal but excessive for me(5) I have gastric erosions that I take Prilosec for and a small hiatal hernia. Should I be concerned as the pain isn't going away and is a 8/10 on a pain scale . Going the bathroom neither alleviates or seems to cause the symptoms and no food causes either( I haven't just eaten a greasy meal either in AM or night before.).
Which they called heartburn, I have had for years. I was permanently put on Prilosec. As a solution to the nausea, they increased my prilosec. In March 2014 I had my gallbladder removed and that got rid of some abdomonal pain. Nausea, fatigue and chest pain stayed. The fatigue is overwhelming at times. I was given prescription Aleve for chest pain, which my doctor called costocondritis.
thanks, no i guess he did not. i'm reading up on it now and it is sounding like it could be that. thank you.
There's a specific test for the gallbladder. You have to find out the ejection fraction rate. I had no gallstones and a gallbladder with 8% ejection fraction....out came the gallbladder! Pain free since! Do watch your diet! High fats can still cause discomfort. Pepcid with 1,100 bicarbonate--it's a prescription med taken once a night helps tremendously! Also sleep slightly elevated so the acids do not destroy your esophagus.
See the doc!
Ive had nausea for the past 7mnths and its slowly getting worse. Now have constant heartburn/indegestion pain across chest and right side of lower back for the last 3 weeks. Yesterday ( sri to b gross) had a poo which burnt, smelt like when ure sick with yellow ridges??!!!. So far bloods have come back normal and stool samples. I am soo tired and down from feeling like this all the time yet no1 seems to be able to help!!Any ideas any1!!!????
Hi and welcome to the GERD forum.
First Pepcid is a H2 inhibitor while prilosec is a PPI (pronton pump inhibitor)
The H2 blockers may work better for him and could be y the Drs RX'd it....I was on prilosec of yrs and know it is slow to show benefits and then stopped working for me....I take the pepcid now and it works better for me....
Prilosec may take up to 2 weeks b4 benefits are seen....has he modified his diet and lifestyle?
I have been having rt sided abd pain w/ nausea esp after eating. I am exhausted & can barely function. I had a throidectomy 3 mo ago & 2 weeks after that the pain & nausea started. It will clear up for a day or 2 & then its back again. Abd us showed mild increase in gallbladder polyp & mild fatty liver. I already take prilosec 2x day for reflux. I am at a complete loss at what to do.Any suggestions would be appreeciated.
I have Gerd, and IBS.. have had it for years and years. Most of the time, the prilosec manages the Acid reflux. My IBS acts up often but if I watch what I eat, its manageable. The past few months off and on, I get a rumbly stomach, and very gassy at times. But what concerns me is the off and on pain on the upper right side and left side too.. almost under my breastbone, but seems to be upper stomach? Its sharp but doesn't stay all day... off and on...
white stool usualy have to do with the liver,,,and all the other symptoms sounds like gallbladder,so id have my gullbladder/liver checked asap
I also will note that I am still taking the prilosec b/c when I try to wean myself off of it, i get indigesion so that is also a symptom I have if not for the prilosec. Sorry this is so long just really wanting some hope. At this point I am hoping it is my gallbladder. I am scared to have surgery but I want my life back and I want an answer. life is hard enough with type 1 diabetes, but this makes it miserable! Anyone shed some light on this or have similar situation??
