Avatar n tn Had IV fluids for a day and Cyclizine injections to stop sickness, plus Ranitidine antacids which made a huge difference for me. Will be on Cyclizine + Ranitidine oral tablets for the rest of my pregnancy, am 18+2 and looking forward to being able to enjoy it at last!
Avatar f tn I'm on Cyclizine (anti-sickness) and Ranitidine (antacids), then eat little and often. 19+2 now and know what you're going through and how difficult it can seem, I've had days i've felt so low and dont know how I'm going to get through this pregnancy.
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 A complete history and tests endoscopy will confirm the diagnosis. In mild gastritis over-the-counter antacids can help in neutralizing stomach acid and can provide fast pain relief. When antacids don't provide enough relief, medications such as cimetidine, ranitidine, or famotidine that help reduce the amount of acid the stomach produces are often prescribed. It is important to confirm the diagnosis. I hope you find this information useful. Best luck and regards!
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 n tn Nothing works, have tried omeprazole, famotidine, reglan, antacids, ranitidine, and others. My lower throat feels like it cramps and I can't breathe, then the blood and oxygen rushing to deal with that makes my heart start pounding. I am wondering: is there anything I can suggest to my doctors to look at next, or another drug I can try since the only thing that gives me relief is sublingual nitroglycerin and I go through 100 of those a month ? Thanks for ANY suggestions, I am desperate.
1701959 tn?1488551541 So in July I started with 4 days of a really sore tummy, below my sternum in the middle. Even putting pressure there hurt and my stomach was a bit sour (no throwing up though). It went away and only flaired up a little here and there. This past week it came back and hurt like crazy again... to put pressure there causes discomfort and eating too much seems to make it worse. I've had the blood test for H. Pylori which was negative and am going to my GI doc in 2 days.
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 m tn Hello, A detailed evaluation may be necessary for determining the correct cause of your symptoms. Heartburn, a bitter or sour taste at the back of the throat are common symptoms of GERD. If one experiences heartburn two or more times per week it raises the suspicion of GERD. A complete history and tests like endoscopy will confirm the diagnosis. In mild gastritis over-the-counter antacids can help in neutralizing stomach acid and can provide fast pain relief.
Avatar n tn Antacids that neutralize stomach acid. Antacids, such as Maalox, Mylanta, Gelusil, Rolaids and Tums, may provide quick relief. But antacids alone won't heal an inflamed esophagus damaged by stomach acid. Overuse of some antacids can cause side effects, such as diarrhea or constipation. Medications to reduce acid production.
Avatar m tn - stomach cramps / gastric pains below the ribcage at the center area -slightly bloated -gassy, need to burp and pass gas frequently -occasional diarrhoea, very seldom, mostly bowel movements are normal but stools are a bit greenish At first I went to a GP, she prescribed ranitidine, hyoscine butylbromide and eviline forte suspension. However it was not much of a help and I went to the hospital that night for severe stomach cramps/gastric pains.
Avatar m tn Also raise the head end of the bed by 2 blocks. 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 .Also take a healthy,balanced and nutritious diet consisting more of fruits,salads,soups and raw vegetables(after proper washing).Also increase the protein content in your diet instead of carbohydrates and fats.An advice from a dietician will be helpful. Take some OTC antacid like Mylanta.
Avatar m tn ht I am making one such suggestion which you can follow and see. Omeprazole is a good drug to combat this. Along with it you can try over the counter antacids. Avoid heavy meals. Avoid too much of caffeine, tea, fried food and drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic fuzzy ones. Avoid heavy exercises within 4 hours of a heavy meal. Raise the head end of the bed or raise pillows to 30 degrees. Go to bed at least 2 hours after food.

1916673 tn?1420233270 I have recently spent some time looking into the functioning of different antacids. After some considerable amount of reading, I have come to the conclusion that one of the best of this group of medications is Prilosec (omeprazole). I did once give this drug a poor rating, but recent evidence suggests it's actually proving to be one of the safest and most effective.
Avatar f tn Hi Tam, There are no Dr's on this forum. I am not sure about Maalox, but I would check with the pharmascist. They tend to be the experts, even on over the counter medications. Good luck to you.
Avatar f tn Are antacids or,any other heartburn relief medications safe during 2nd trimester? If so, what kind do you suggest?
Avatar n tn re taking Ranitidine, namely GERD has been associated with arrhythmia. Interestingly, the day I cut as many carbohydrates from my diet as I could was the last day I needed to take Ranitidine.
Avatar m tn He will refer you to a GI doctor only if your GI symptoms continue or worsen, even with the Zantac. Also, antacids have a way of decreasing the efficacy of some medications. You should do better with just the Zantac. Good luck.
Avatar f tn Try pepper mint tea n honey with a combination of short relief antacids with long lasting gaviscon double action that's seems to work it won't last but at least it safe n on top of nexium or zantac n try avoid white bread,pasta n pastry, foods that are tomato based eg-pizza, Bolognese, spicy foods etc I get it really bad n have tried everything maintaining a healthy diet n exercise if possible let me know..
Avatar n tn I had my gallbladder removed and take antacids all the time, I would also like to know about this.
Avatar f tn You should also get an endoscopy done and rule out gastric issues. Take antacids, H2 blockers such as famotidine or ranitidine for your gastric acidity. Eat proper planned diet and drink sufficient water. Get all your vitals measures and go for an ecg and rule out any cardiac issues. If all parameters normal then check if you are allergic to any substance, if so identify and quarantine yourself completely from allergens. Take care!
956351 tn?1246927519 My grandfather is 84yrs old, he said he is experiencing some abdominal pain and assume it is some reaction with acid reflux? I explained to him that with his age and other medical problems, it could be a number of issues. He has prostate, high blood pressure, and acid reflux that he is being treated for as we speak. But he explains that the acid reflux is what he is assuming is the reason behind his newly shown symptoms.
