Common Questions and Answers about Ranitidine for gastritis

zantac

Avatar n tn Thank you for the advice, selmaS. Yes, I have been watching my diet for the past week now, when the gastritis started again, and been keeping a journal of what I'm eating, what meds i'm taking and when I'm taking them. One thing I know for sure is that I CANNOT eat my meals late...esp in the morning..I found that it has to be exactly 30 mins after I take my meds (if it goes over to an hour later, that's not good already).
Avatar f tn I had developed gastritis last september due to excessive intake of antibiotics as i developed stomach flu prior to gastritis. the doctor prescibed acidity tablets for a month. i was feeling ok for a few months then suddenly i developed nausea a week ago and the doctor prescibed tinidizole with acidity tablets. i took for 3 days along with my homeopathy medicine but i still feel heaviness in my head when i lie down so im not able to sleep. kindly advice me what to do.
Avatar m tn I took this for several months and took 24 pills of it for gastritis like symptoms. I also have mental health issues. Its not helping reading zantac can cause all of these cancers colon, kidney, bladder, lung, liver etc etc etc.... So anyone who took this medication gets tested for all these cancers how? This is ridiculous!
Avatar m tn sometimes at minimum level, sometimes hard. i have hp ylori infection, for which i completed the treatment and will do a test in a few weeks to see if still it exists. during sleeping i have watering mouth. my main symptom is excess gas everyday and the alternating pain in the right quadrant. sometimes, i have rectal spazms.
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 The next day I went back to the doctor and she said the x Ray showed I had lots of stool and prescribed Miralax and ranitidine because she thought the abdominal pain was caused by acid. I took Miralax for two weeks and it stopped the bloating I had a follow up on April 7th. Before the follow up I went on that Monday because I had blood in my stool the emergency Doctor of the clinic said it was an anal fissure and increased the miralax to three caps.
Avatar m tn My pomeranian dog is not eating for more than two weeks. Two weeks earlier it was continuously vomiting, and i found some worms in it. Our local doctors said it just stomach problem and they gave B Complex,Liver Extract With Vitamin B12 Injection and Betnesol injection for two days.Today it was given an anti biotic and ranitidine as it was thought to have gastric problem. Please help me soon, he is very sick..
Avatar m tn I took Zantac because I had gastritis symptoms. Now I hear that Zantac causes cancer and wished I never went to pills for relief. How long does it take for cancer to appear after you've taken Zantac? I've heard the NDMA in Zantac causes full body cancers in every organ.... This seems like a intentionally made drug to induce cancer.
Avatar f tn Dx with GERD/Gastritis in 1988. I take ranitidine on and off. I watch what I eat to avoid reflux. Dx with IBS in 1995. Recently I had an endoscopy and colonoscopy. Dx - diverticulosis and stomach showed chronic gastritis. Developed difficulty swallowing food (not the lump in throat you get with GERD) I had right side (under ribs) pain since july 2010. ER did an ultrasound. Huge gallstone in gallbladder. Had gallbladder removed. We are now it Nov 2010 - Right pain is still there.
Avatar f tn Why am i getting the chills and my whole left side feels like it's going to give out any minute. It feels like there is something going right through my heart straight to the back, tha's where all the pain is. It also effects my shoulder too. It also feels like I have indigestion and I have been having stomach problems for almost a whole week now. I am hoping that it's just a flu but the way it's going I think it's something else.
Avatar m tn I dont know why I am posting here because I am sure no one can help unless they have a gun but im frustrated to say the least waiting for interferon free treatment to hit the UK (tried 72 weeks interferon/riba backin 2006). Maybe someone here can tell me what test to ask for if there is one for a case like mine.
Avatar m tn You should talk to your doctor again and see if he can tell you what the gastritis is caused by because if you don't have H pylori anymore then you shouldn't have gastritis. The treatment for gastritis depends on what is causing the gastritis. I have not had gastritis before. Here is what a website says about the treatment for gastritis: Over-the-counter antacids in liquid or tablet form are a common treatment for mild gastritis.
619150 tn?1247048274 Also lately I have stomach discomfort, like I can feel the waste passing inside my lower stomach. I have a acid reflux problem and take Ranitidine for heartburn, also have swelling at anus witch I think is hemorrhoids.
Avatar n tn Do you mean like ranitidine? Has anyone checked your pancreas function?
60505 tn?1313946644 "I am a 46yo (white) female, I have been checking statistics for stomach cancer and I do see as a female and with my race the odds are very low. For the last 2 months I have been getting stomach "pain" more uncomfortable than pain,along with a feeling of "fullness" sometimes with a sense of nausea. No weight loss. I would say I have been getting indigestion and reflux for as long as I can remember.
Avatar n tn Left sided under rib pain is most likely due to gastritis. However get an ultrasound abdomen done to confirm the cause. For acid reflux , try raising the head of your bed about four inches with blocks. It also might help to avoid eating or drinking for two hours before you lie down. To help control the stomach acid, one should not drink alcohol or drinks with caffeine in them, or eat chocolate or spicy or greasy foods . Take some OTC antacid like Mylanta.
Avatar n tn What can I do about my gastritis? I have had gastritis for two years. Since the end of last year I haven,t been doing very well with it. It keeps flaring up a lot and it is agony. Im on Pantoprazole which is one 40mg tablet a day. I also take Gaviscon. Today I started taking Sucralfate but it hasn,t helped as its extremly painful. It keeps me awake at night with the pain. Has anyone else been like this? I don,t know why I can,t get rid of it or get it under control.
Avatar f tn Three to four years ago, my pediatric had prescribed me 300 mg Ranitidine for heart burn. A few months later, a urgent care physician had prescribed me the same medicine. In total, I've taken two bottles of Ranitidine (approx 2 months worth of tablets). I've been paranoid ever since I learned that Ranitidine had been recalled due to a link to cancer. Is a 2 month dose of Ranitidine something to worry about?
Avatar f tn Besides I take the medications all the time, have lost 15kg, in 4 months, I eat as directed by my doctor, I still have the symptoms like, nausea, bloated stomach, and occasionally when my stomach is so bloated I have high heart rate and difficulty in breathing, that cause me a lot of panic and I have finished maybe 9-10 times to ER, where they diagnose me with digestive problems and anxiety like panic attack.
