Common Questions and Answers about Prilosec and gallstones
prilosec
s very little chance of recieving a persciption for the better medications ( I feel that the Nexium worked better than Prilosec, and that Aciphex worked better than both). the greasy, acidic, and overall bad for you foods must be cut out. these foods with irritate existing conditions and/or create new ones if it's GERD or gastritis.
good luck, and i hope everything gets better for you soon.
Talk to your doctor...they actually have me on prilosec and it's amazing for the acid/heartburn (prilosec is a class C drug, zantac is a little safer as a class B, but didn't work for me) but unfortunately I still wake up chocking on stomach content if I eat or drink after 5pm (it just doesn't burn like before)...
Hi, I haven't been able to find anything on what I'm feeling. I was told I had Acid Reflux but looking at the symptoms, I don't feel like that is right. A few years ago I started to experience incredible stabbing-like pain in my stomach after I ate. I went to the Gastrologist and now I've been taking 20mg a day of Prilosec. When I would forget to take it, the pain would come back later that same day. Now, that pain has come back, even while taking Prilosec. No heartburn.
The Pepsid was prescribed as 40 mg once a day and so is the Prilosec. It is day 2 and he is still having a lot of pain but now it is going into his back. He took 1 prilosec yesterday afternoon, 1 this morning and 1 just before bed tonight (it said you could take up to 2 if you had to). I did some research on Prilosec and it said that it could take up to a month to start feeling benefits from it. I was thinking that maybe his esophagus is burned from the acid so it may take a while to heal.
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.
I get really bad heartburn at work.. which is not ideal since I work in surgery and can't leave!.. A wiser and older nurse makes a 7up and salt mixture for me. I drink a cup full and I feel so much better.. Can't hurt to try! Hopefully you find relief...
Prilosec for the acid/heartburn but to stop the choking at night try to eat more in the morning and at lunch and keep dinner light and early...
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...
I had an endoscopy and they found chronic gastritis, abnormal mucosa and esophaegeal stricture, which they dilated, 6 months later I had to have it dilated again.
Current problem: I still have heartburn and indigestion, but since October, I have been having a pain in my stomach right in the top center, it's a stabbing pain. I am also bloated from about an hour after I wake up until I go to bed.
He has been suffering from severe stomach pains and nausea on a daily basis. He use to drink and smoke in the past, but has stopped. He eats normally, unless he's in pain. Any advice or assistance will be appreciated. Thanks!!
I am feeling so frustrated because I can't seem to get the proper help for him,since he is in pain every single day.
ve had heartburn for the first time in my life. Prior to the GB removal I never had any symptoms of acid reflux. Took Prilosec for 2 weeks and then Nexium for a month but I believe I was experiencing some side effects from the PPIs. When I went to a gastroenterologist last week I had been feeling a little better after stopping the Nexium. So we decided to wait a week and see how it went.
My main symptom at the time was numbness in my arms and legs and fatigue. Chiari fit since I also had neck and shoulder pain. I had decompression surgery in 2011. The neck pain has gone away and for some time there was an increase in energy, a slight increase. Initially the numbness went away too. But the numbness has come back and is pretty constant now. Since then I have been tested for Neuropathy, we found none, 2013.
Hello. I'm a 17 year old female and I'm 145 pounds.
Before I ask my question, I'd like to explain myself.
In February, 7 months ago, I caught the stomach flu. It came out of nowhere. After three days, It went away. Then, again in April, It came back. This time, I was a little shaken up. When I vomit once, I vomit quite a few more times after that. I just plain didn't want to vomit anymore. My dad took me to the emergency, and they prescribed pills for nausea.
If the meds arent helping much, try having a gallbladder test done. I have similar problems was put on 1 prilosec and 1 pepcid a day, I was still having symptoms. Now the dr says the symptoms are caused from gallstones which can mimic the symptoms of gerd/acid indegestion. The meds help keep the symptoms at bay but is just a coverup for the gallstones.
