Avatar n tn ) We went back on Strattera and Prevacid. While we noticed an decrease in symptoms for the first 3 weeks, this past week they have comeback with avengeance, along with anxiety, tearfulness, and a general "mopy-ness". We are upping his Prevacid to 30 mg. If there is no improvement we go back to the GI Doc next week. Any advice? Anyone been through anything like this? Thanks.
Avatar n tn That is probably the most common cause of chronic constipation in children. I have a neice who was chronically constipated for a couple of years. My sister finally took her to an allergist and she had allergies to dairy, wheat and eggs. Once my sister removed those foods from her diet her constipation cleared up. Her colon was really stretched though (still is) so she has to either be on Miralax or eat a lot of apricots/prunces all the time to help her go.
Avatar n tn the medications are wellbutrin, lamictal and prevacid . I only know what my tsh is.
1516809 tn?1345082764 Is a Hacking Cough with sounds of congestion in the upper chest typical of COPD? My mother for the last month would expel white colored globs of mucus periodically after a few minutes of coughing. She has no fever nor loss of appetite. Her geriatrician tried Azithromycin 500mg tabs for 5 days which seemed to help but then the coughing and globs returned. The doctor then doubled her Pulmicort doseage in her Nebulizer for two weeks to see if that helped plus using Robitussin as needed.
290867 tn?1333569278 When a pharmacist makes a compounded version (liquid) of a medince, usually the precise amount of sodium bicarbonate is not added to the medicine. Therefore, when the medicine is ingested, the natural acid in the stomach attacks the medicine and degrades it before it even has a chance to work...so you're basically not giving any medicine at all. The solutabs already have the correct amount of bicarb and are able to work effectively without being degraded....
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!

15695260 tn?1549593113 The research followed participants for 15 years and tested children when they were very young. They believe this will help delay or prevent diabetes in those predisposed to develop it. https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=170637 Would you test your kids to find out if they are at high risk of developing Type 1 Diabetes?
Avatar m tn s wheat has been genetically altered and is very different from the wheat 2 generations ago) and a chapter in the book discussed reports from people that had experienced reductions in GERD symptoms after eliminating wheat. I have never had any issues whatsoever with glutten intolerance so I was skeptical but thought what the heck and gave it a try. After 6 months I now have zero GERD issues too - no heartburn, sore throat, indigestion, etc.
Avatar m tn People of all ages (including infants and children) can get it and may have green and/or mucous in stools, foul smelling stools, diarrhea, etc. (I had this at age 50 at the same time my mother, 81 at the time, had it....so I have read a lot about it and gone with my mother to multiple doctors. ) New research shows that Prevacid, etc. can upset the natural balance of bacteria in the digestive system and make a person more prone to C. Diff. infection. Not to frighten you--but C. Diff.
Avatar f tn I have just started takeing care of my mother in law who is in stage 4 breast cancer and her dr gave her Morphine SO4 IR 15mg one tablet every 3 hours and Morphine SO4 ER 30ENDO one tablet every 12 hours and I am confused on how to give them to her, she says I can give them to her at the same time and I am worried about it causing an overdose and I am having a hard time reaching her dr for instruction on how to give it to her, do i give her one first and then wait a few hours to give the other
Avatar n tn pylori at that time. He put me on Prevacid and I have been on it untill about 6 months ago. The prevacid was no longer working that well so the doctor switched me to Protonix.
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever tried taking the Prevacid at night or in the middle of the night( 4 hrs prior to Synthroid) so that it is working when I do put food into my stomach? I just am fearful of interfering with the Synthroid.
Avatar m tn t know about the Prevacid, but you should have your testosterone checked. My husband fell in his early fifties, was a body builder and avid runner. When he fell he broke his back in 2 places. He was diagnosed with Osteoporosis, they started him on Testosterone shots (his was low), and within a fairly short amount of time, his bones were strong again. He has to take the shots for the rest of his life.
1176471 tn?1263733305 Also keep in mind that the lactose from the milk will be present in all other dairy products as well, such as cheese. Are you now off the protonix? If so, have you noticed an increase in symptoms since stopping it? If so, it could be that you need a longer course of it - but before starting it again, check with your physician. Never start, stop, change, alter, etc. any medication without talking to, and getting approval from your doctor/s.

Avatar n tn i have had bright red blood in my stool for a few days now but very little to no pain, could it be from my taking prevacid?
Avatar f tn I have had ongoing mysterious symptoms for about a year. After a virus I had in April I started vomiting every morning like a pregnant woman, was dizzy and lightheaded all the time, etc. I could barely eat. The vomiting tapered off and ended around October, but I was left with the lightheaded feeling and would get horrible gas pains , so bad I couldn't move, and I also had more mild nausea a lot of the time. At the same time, since probably July I have felt the need to eat almost constantly.
Avatar f tn Now off hydro 5 days, taking prevacid again. I will deal with acid reflux and take my prevacid..Stress does make it flare up really bad...so just maybe I can get it back under control soon...
Avatar f tn t tell if we are dealing with behavioral issues or not, because he will go a month without vomiting and then go for 2 mos vomiting more than twice a day. When he is in a cycle of vomiting, he throws up sometimes more than 4 times a day. Worst times seem to be in the morning and at bedtime. So, he throws up in his bed quite a bit too. He has GERD. He has been tested for gastroenteritis, had done an upper GI, a CT and also endoscopy with normal results.
