Avatar f tn Does the gastritis itself cause bloating, or high levels of acid which cause gastritis(Im trying to understand if what caused the gastritis is still there since I dont know what that is). Secondly, a few days after taking the Omeprazole I started having a feaver and acute diahrea. Ive been told that its not related but its been a few days now without change. Can Omeprazole cause this?
Avatar f tn I was given cipro 500 mg twice a day for a sinus infection. After completing the prescription, I still had a sinus infection and ended up in the ER with an upper respiratory tract infection and gastritis. I now have an equilibrium problem to go along with the upper respiratory infection and the gastritis. I don't know what to do st this point. Too afraid to take anything. Can someone give me some advice.
Avatar n tn Hey mungufuata, Hope you get better. I was reading around the web, but you know, now a days the web could make anything be anything else. You can pretty much input symptoms and you can have 20,000 other things. So what I found to be some "sound" information was that some people do get ulcers and gastritis from using Doxycycline. Now there is a study published on Doxycycline and ulceration, which has three cases studies.
Avatar m tn Severe gastritis can cause shortness of breath. The side effects of acid blockers however are long and very unpleasant. You are what you eat and what you absorb! If you want to help with gastritis then try digestive enzymes containing proteases.
Avatar f tn The antibiotics in the Prevpak can cause heartburn as well. I would still suggest giving it a bit more time...
Avatar f tn 8 week after sex tested with 4 generation test and result negative. Can GERD cause difficult breathing, dry mouth, dry throat, wheezing, dizzy? I have not taken medicine after 10 day antibiotics prescription but doctor prescribed me Anti-Acid medicine but I have not taken it for Almost two months...
Avatar f tn Were you having soft stools before you began treatment, or after? I'm asking because antibiotics can sometimes cause soft stools and even diarrhea. Had your Dr recommended having a CT scan done? It show show alot as far as your digestive tract. It can take awhile to get rid of H Pylori. I've read that taking vitamin C, cranberry supplements and Zinc can really help along with the antibiotics. I'm a little surprised your Dr doesn't have you on two antibiotics.
Avatar n tn Alcohol, NSAIDs, Helicobacter Pylori, Autoimmune Disorder. The only one that makes sense for my case is Helicobacter Pylori. (Unless Autoimmune Disorder is somehow related to food allergies.) Pylori is a bacteria that is resistant to stomach acid. Taking Prilosec would only make it even more hard to kill. Therefore, antibiotics would be necessary to kill the bacteria. (I don't even know WHY I am taking Prilosec. What is it supposed to accomplish?
Avatar f tn Common pain relievers — such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and naproxen (Aleve, Anaprox) — can cause both acute gastritis and chronic gastritis. Using these pain relievers regularly or taking too much of these drugs may reduce a key substance that helps preserve the protective lining of your stomach. Older age. Older adults have an increased risk of gastritis because the stomach lining tends to thin with age and because older adults are more likely to have H.
Avatar f tn Can the gastritis cause this to happen and also can they determine if its gallbladder problems or gastritis by blood and urine test cause the symptoms are alike? I also have a lack of appetite. Never had this problem before just happened suddenly. How long will it take for this to go away, and when will i get my full appetite for food back?!
270554 tn?1289511647 This will cause all the symptoms u mentioned...my dad had the same issues...and it can take a few rounds of antibiotics to cure....plus antibiotics will kill all the good bacteria that u need so talk to the Dr about trying a pro biotic afterward to help restore the balance.
1709162 tn?1314084832 H. pylori typically results in causing gastritis, so the antibiotics are going to hopefully remove the bacteria but will not cause the gastritis to immediately stop. Most people (and doctors) find they need to stay on a course of acid suppression meds for several months and follow a GERD-friendly diet in order to tamp things down. Talk to your doctor about follow-up care. He/she should also recommend follow-up testing to check on the status of the bacteria (gone or not gone).
Avatar m tn Since Nyquil contains acetaminophen, it can cause gastritis especially in an individual prone to acidity and dyspepsia. The symptoms could be more apparent if you took the medication empty stomach. However dark black stool can also be caused by a coloring agent in your food, iron rich food or taking iron supplements or taking green veggies or meat etc Since you took Nyquil, you probably have cold and run down feeling, and there is a chance you have viral flu.
1307217 tn?1282324189 Hi...antibiotics can cause heartburn and acid reflux in that they kill off all bacteria...unfortunately we need good bacteria to help us digest our food. SO it feels like u may have too much acid, when in fact u may not have enuff right now. Ask ur dr about a pro biotic to help with the stomach issues. R u sure it is ur tonsils giving u the throat pain....mayb they have to come out?.....
1442483 tn?1284210716 I was initially told by the Dr., following upper and lower GI, that my 7 year old son had "infectious" gastritis as well as eosinophilic esophagitis. Later that afternoon we received prescriptions for Amoxicillin, Metronidazole, and Omeprazole. After the weekend the nurse phoned me the pathology results, but couldn't see any answer as to what the cause of his gastritis was. However it did state Moderately Acute Gastritis H. Pylori not detected.
Avatar f tn Gastroscopy showed h pylori gastritis and a presence of excess bile in the stomach. Triple therapy antibiotics prescribed (lansoprazole, amoxi and clarithromycin), he says he feels a lot better, but i'm worried sick. He says he still gets an ache but it comes and goes and is not constant, he says that certain foods seem to make him feel worse, am I right in believing you can eradicate the h pylori but the gastritis takes time to heal?
561356 tn?1216078616 yes i am on 2 antibiotics for gastritis and for the h. pylori and pepcid also for reflux. it is almost instaneous after eating no matter what it is. bigger meals are alot more painful though.
Avatar f tn pylori (which is the most often cause of gastritis/ulcers), if positive, treatment with a combination of antibiotics for 2 weeks, and then another breath test to see success. 2. Along with antibiotics, strong anti-acid drugs, like Prevacid or Nexium - by doctor's decision. This should stop bleeding, if the cause was gastritis (ulcer). If all this won't help, well then you'll need another endoscsopy.
Avatar m tn Can Gastritis be caused by Candida? The reason I am asking is because I was exposed to needless antibiotics in an ER then my testicals turned red like a yeast issue, then I had 10 days of 4000mgs of Augmentin for a constipation/colon infection. Then after a week of concluding that I developed gastritis for the first time, and a thrush.
Avatar f tn Can Mucinex (Guaifenesin) cause gastritis or irritate existing gastritis/ulcer? I was taking Mucinex for 5 days, 400mg once a day, and now my stomach is bothering me (burning pain). I have suffered from gastritis and a gastric ulcer in the past. Could this medication cause or aggravate those problems? It was actually helping my sinuses to drain, but now I'm afraid to take it.
Avatar m tn Hi, thanks. But the nausea should be gone right? I've tried all sorts of medication to stop the damn nausea. However, it doesn't seem to go away. It's getting me frustrated, and I'm starting to lose faith. Sometimes I feel my nausea is not caused by my gastritis. So you're saying GASTRITIS will cause nausea, ALL THE TIME? And if my gastritis is cured, the nausea will be gone? :) thanks!
2085202 tn?1373199740 ve been wondering is it true that cysts on the liver are pretty common and usually benign? Could gastritis be the cause of all of the pain? Could the cyst on the liver be causing the constant reddish brown stools? Any advice and ideas will be greatly valued , appreciated and used to tell the Dr. Thank you very much.
Avatar m tn I also had kidney stones in the past and read that some of the inactive ingredients in acid reducers can cause that. Along with constipation, so I don't want to be on an acid reducer which can cause those in long type use.
Avatar f tn After badgering the GP for months, she finally tested her for H.Pylori which came back positive. She did a course of antibiotics to kill the bacteria. In the meantime she changed GPs and was also sent to an endoscopy. The results said she has chronic gastritis, hiatal hernia and GERD. Her only symptom so far was nausea so she was surprised to hear about other problems.
Avatar f tn s going on in your stomach you could have a bit of gastritis ( inflamation of the stomach lining) it can be caused by a bacteria called Helicobacter Pylori and treated with two types of antibiotics together with an ant acid. Your doctor can send you for a breath test to see if you have the bacteria present. The ranitidine help with the indigestion and burning by controlling acid production. I suggest a visit to your gp , ask if you can have the breath test or even an endoscopy .
