Protonix gastritis
Common Questions and Answers about Protonix gastritis
protonix
The ultrasound came back normal and my upper endescopy showed Grade A Reflux and Gastritis. The Dr gave me Nexium, but I was still getting upper stomach pain and pressure in the chest an back. I was switched to Protonix and it seemed to help with the upper stomach pain right under the breastbone. I'm taking two pills a day. Does anyone know how long Protonix takes to work? I was told that some PPI's could take 4 to six weeks to take affect.
I have been using Protonix for almost a year now and it's worked great to help my Gastritis but I noticed something. Since taking it, my period comes later than it used to and for less time. I am a bit worried, is everything ok?
I saw the surgeon and he stated that I have a hernia and also have the gastritis. They changed my medications around to protonix, questren, and carafate. I was released from the hospital on Friday. Since then I've been vomiting daily after taking the questren, and still having the pain in the stomach and the back. I have a doctor appointment today and then on Wednesday to see the general surgeon, but has anyone heard of having more issues since diagnosis.
Hi, I too had an endoscope done and was diagnosed w/ gastritis, the dr. did not tell me much info either and just gave me protonix to take for a month, took that and stopped after a month like the dr told me...the med helped a little but currently I am not on anything...my gastritis comes and goes and I've been researching info on food combining...I don't want to take meds and I've also cut out alot of foods out of my diet that make my symtoms worse...
I was diagnosed with gastritis and given Protonix for it. The doctor at the ER told me to continue taking the medications my asthma doctor had prescribed, including Prednisone which causes bad gastritis apparently? So I am now currently on Protonix, Prednisone, Zyrtec (for my allergies), and am taking my nebulizer (albuterol for my asthma). My asthma seems to be fine, but I seem to be getting anxiety over one of the medications I am taking and I don't know which one.
I tried prilosec, nexium, prevacid and now im on protonix. The only one that worked (until a month ago) was protonix. Everyone reacts differently to different drugs even though they basicaly do the same thing.
As long as your not having any pain it doesn't sound like it is getting worse but i would definatley after 18 days ask your Dr to maybe try a different PPI.
I have been diagnosed with having gastritis about a month ago after having an EGD with gastric biopsies. The report says I have mild non-specific gastritis in a bed of "excessive stromal fibrosis". Does anybody know what "excessive stromal fibrosis"? Please help.
Dear Zephir,
Yes, I had the same dry mouth from Ativan (lorazepam trade name). A couple years ago, I was trying to switch from one tranquilizer to another, and was trying Ativan. I was a water-drinking juice-swallowing fool, and I wound up with IBS from that drug. No one knew that stuff was the reason. After endless tests, colonoscopy, going to several docs, I finally sat down and did me some study on the issue. I thought it might be the Ativan, and it was.
Ok so I had a upper Gi test done tuesday and they found I had little gastritis of the stomach and esophagitis and that my stomach was making to much acid. I been on protonix for 2 weeks now and after every meal and bedtime I take mylanta. I still feel sick all the time. Also i have very smelly green poop??????? How long can this take sometimes. what else can i rule out? Why could I be making to much stomach acid???? Please help its been three weeks a 2 days.
I have what I would guess is pretty severe gastritis and acid reflux. I drink ACV, take Protonix (just the past couple days), and drink Maalox which does help temporarily.
I get burning in my throat and chest, reflux, nausea, sternum pain, feeling like there is something in my throat, and even back pain when it gets bad.
Do those of you who have these issues also get chest tightness and the feeling of something sitting on your upper chest?
t work so I went to the ER and they prescribed me protonix. I had an ultrasound of my upper GI and it showed nothing. Well 4 days after using the protonix I started to have a bloated feeling. It never went away. It's mainly just a tight full feeling - not the actual distension but it's constant. And some times it's in the upper abdomen and sometimes just lower or both. A tight pressure will also come and go and feel like a brick is sitting on my abdomen.
Migraine; gastritis; hyperlipasemia; unintensional wt loss; excessive sleepiness; nultinodular thyroid

I used to experience the same thing before I had surgery, sometimes balsalmic vinegar would seem to help. I knew that vinegar is slightly acidic, so I brought it up with my doc. He thinks that because stomach acid is so strong, the slightly acidic acid dilutes it. That being said, I'm curious why water didn't help. Was it very cold water you drank? I used to have trouble with that for whatever reason.
How you take Protonix or related blockers is very, very important.
Been on basicaly every med on the market and recently I am on 2x daily protonix which has completley gotten rid of the nausea. My bloating (indigestion?) and belching throughout the day has gotten worse. It gets worse by the end of the day and after I eat dinner sometimes lasts for an hour.
I also just started a new weight lifting routine to try and counter this weight loss I had in the past 3 years (dropped from 150 to like 135). I started this the same time as my 2x daily protonix.
2abdomial CTs, a colonoscopy, an endoscopy, a small bowel study, a gastric emptying test, an MRI, numerous x-rays and bloodwork --all was normal except I did show some gastritis on endoscopy and my GES was in high normal range..Removing my gallbladder didn't help my nausea at all..I was put on Carafate, Protonix and Zantac which never really helped very much...
At the end of September, after having an endoscopy performed, I was Dx with severe Gastritis and given a new Rx for Protonix to be taken twice a day for 6 months which meant 60 pills/month. Being that Prilosec and Protonix are in the same drug class my insurance company has stated that I've hit my 90 tablet/90 day limit. The Protonix has finally helped with the pain and discomfort I've been having and now my insurance company won't cover it.
It was only a days ailment and went away but now since yesterday I notice after I wake up and drink water with my pills I get this sensation that there is something in my throat and like I have trapped gas and I need to burp so I drink water and indeed I burp. I am on Protonix 1 x 40mg and I suffer from gastritis/esophagitis since 2010 but every fall and spring I am.in a flair. Any advice?
Saw dr today after asking questions where he first thought maybe gallbladder, he said ulcer or gastritis and he bets gastritis. Prescribed protonix. Stook first dose about five hrs ago. Also drank some baking soda water and took pepto and its still there. Not exactly pain, just a gnawing empty feeling even tho i know im not hungry. Anyone ever have this? How long for protonix to kick in? I had nausea this morning too and vomited which is why i went to the dr. No burning really no heartburn.
Regarding: Intermittant/ constant nausea for the past 3-4 years. I've had every test you can imagine- CT scan, abdominal and pelvic ultrasounds, blood tests including the gluten-intolerance one, a gastroscopy, an x-ray with barium meal. Ended up giving up finding an answer and existed on maxalon for a few years- missing way too many days of work. Anywho I am almost constantly nauseous now, usually mild, sometimes severe. i never vomit.
