Avatar n tn For over a month now I have been suffering from stomach pain, nausea, a bit of gas and bloating, and food tasting really weird/gross. I've been taking prescribed antacids for it and lots of generic tums. A similar thing like this occurred a month ago, however, my stomach only hurt when I touched the very lower portion of it then. Today my stomach hurts when I touch it mostly in the middle and when I don't touch it. The pain feels like the inside of my stomach is just raw.
Avatar m tn ve never been officially diagnosed, just something my GP thought might be bothering me and prescribed me ranitidine... long story short, the ranitidine worked fine (150 mg/2x a day) and I was symptom free within 24 hours. Flash forward to 5 weeks ago, I thought I was developing a bit of a chest cold with some chest tightness. Figured the cough would come along later... funny thing, it never came.
Avatar f tn Gaviscon or prescribed ranitidine have been my saviours this last trimester. Was 100 percent against any medication before trying ranitidine. Sickness and heartburn gone!
Avatar f tn I've been on prilosec since I was 21 weeks.. I'm now 2 days shy of 36 weeks... and my baby has dropped and the acid reflux and heart burn lightened up!
Avatar n tn My doctor prescribed ausran ranitidine tablets. Take one in the morning & one at night. Keeps it settled all the time. I am now 29weeks with my first baby and it has been so terrible & was getting progressively worse.
Avatar f tn My doctor told me to take pepcid AC and that helps so much I can actually sleep at night without puking and it is safe to take.
1437406 tn?1283839310 I'm also 37 and we're having our first. I have acid reflux and usually take prilosec but my doctor changed me to ranitidine. Tums also helps. Dr. said NO Pepto Bismol. How far along is your wife?
7110266 tn?1392136011 Gaviscon is the number one recommended choice. I have severe acid reflux and gaviscon chewable tabs works along with 300mg of ranitidine a day.
Avatar f tn d do it after every feed) we took her to the hospital and in the end we had to put infant gaviscon in every bottle, but it worked a treat! (: and never bothered her after that!
Avatar f tn I am currently on omeprazole AND ranitidine at the same time and it hasn't even touched my acid reflux in the slightest, either of them, so my Dad has paid for me to go private next week cos I am pregnant an really suffering at the moment.
Avatar f tn I wake up with heart burn and acid reflux and I go to bed with it and all though the time between. Its bad and the past couple of days nothing helps..... driving me crazy..
Avatar f tn I have been using gaviscon and was talking to a doctor at work this morning about when I was due etc and she said take pantoprazole (aka somac) u need a prescription in Australia but she said its a category A drug and worked wonders for her
Avatar n tn I could take 2 Pantoprazoles a day but it would interfere with taking the Sucralfate or Gaviscon. I take Gaviscon at night. I really need it to go and to eat properly again. Has anyone else had it for ages then it has gone? Im hoping it will heal and I can get back to normal.
Avatar m tn ve learned to supplement my Esomeprazole (none of the others work) with ranitidine over the few days and use antacids/Gaviscon advance as needed. Extra propping up when 'laying down' is also required. It really reinforces all the usual GERD management tips, like eat little plain meals to nourish, avoid greasy or strong flavours, avoid caffeine, avoid acidic (fruit juice) or fizzy drinks.
Avatar f tn I take mylanta notnsure if you have that in US and doc prescribed ranitidine 150mg twice a day safe during pregnancy. I was told by doc nexium isnt safe during pregnancy can cause birth defects and premature labor.
Avatar f tn Try rennies or gaviscon n try milk. I also find drinkin water with ice cubes in helps a little. I suffer so badly from acid reflux n heartburn have dun even before being pregnant but even worse now n have it everyday.
Avatar n tn Have a sensitive stomach and get burning pains especially if food has chilly or is strong in acid. Ranitidine has helped but from time to time suffer missing hearbeats. Having given up the drug for a while things improved but stomach started to suffer again and thus the reason to re-start the drug.
215164 tn?1269466240 Well im on omeprazole and ranitidine and neither of them are working for me.... tried everything - chamomile tea, peppermint tea, tums, peptac, gaviscon, milk....bleh. nothing works.
Avatar m tn In 2000 I developed a duodenal ulcer that was diagnosed and treated with Ranitidine. I was scoped twice and told I had a Hiatus hernia but no H pylori. It took years to fix and finally after overdosing on Antacids it went away in 2005. I became dangerously B12 deficient because I took high doses of Ranitidine for too long. I stopped the Antacids all together and my B12 returned to normal. After stopping antacids and fixing the B12 I started to develop a problem with swallowing.
Avatar f tn The Doctor have upped my dose of Lansoprazole and I am also on Ranitidine as well. Apart from the pain and being sick it hurts to eat food and after I have eaten also I am loosing my appetite too. My diet hasn't changed and not changed anything else. However, the constant pain, being sick, feeling sick, loosing my voice and my appetite is getting me concerned. I am not pregnant before anyone asks.
