Zantac constipation

Common Questions and Answers about Zantac constipation

zantac

Avatar m tn The last year it has gotten worse where I occasionally wake up with back and throat pain but it is quickly resolved by getting up, moving around and taking tums. I have been to many gastro dr.s, have been on nexium and zantac and am mostly constipated (wondering if I have IBS-C?) For some reason, I am petrified of having pancreatic cancer and worry that the back pain could be this.
Avatar m tn I have a 20 year old cat on antibiotic,Zantac 75,Mylanta for constipation,Cerenia for nausea,aluminium hydroxide for Phosphate binder. I am wondering if Tripsy is safe to use and does it help kidney disease symptoms or is it a waste of money?
Avatar n tn I have finally found relief for the constipation that goes with this. I now take 2 omeprazole a day, 4 domperidone--a motility drug, and a Zantac before bed. I have tried ginger capsules and all kinds of natural supplements, plus tums, etc. Any suggestions? I have had a bezoar when digestion just stopped, gall bladder out--infection in that. I feel like I have morning sickness all the time!
Avatar f tn ve been getting much worse this past week. Had a lot of nausea going on and got prescribed Zantac (ranitidine). Took my first dose the night before last, was feeling a little better yesterday afternoon, then in the evening I ate a baked sweet potato and felt bloated, crampy, and tight all over my back and abdomen. I was also feeling lightheaded and weak while I was having these feelings.

7601195 tn?1406663344 Ive had rally bad gas heartburn and constipation ... tmi.... is this normal?
6692462 tn?1409257870 Try some colace to help with the constipation and zantac 150mg for the gas and heartburn amd those are both safe during pregnancy
Avatar f tn I'm not sure about the gas, but for indigestion I take zantac. Its safe to take, and the only thing that helps me. Even water gives me heartburn its ridiculous. And for the constipation, you can try natural remedies like lots of water, 100% juice, preferably prune juice, and lots of fiber. As far a medicine, miralax, and colace are ok to take for the constipation.
Avatar f tn About 4 weeks after one shoulder surgical repair and when I was using Vicodin intermittently, I than developed gastritis. Zantac calmed my system after three weeks and was than discontinued. Now I have a heavy feeling in my stomach and significant burping. My bowel has also slowed. Is it possible that the Zantac so upset my stomach and intestinal flora. Will probiotics help reestablish my intestinal flora? Any other ideas?
Avatar f tn //gerd.emedtv.com/zantac/zantac-side-effects.html - and noticed that some of your symptoms are listed as side effects of Zantac. As far as your blood work I would make sure an endocrine screen was done. Low cortisol is an indication of adrenal insufficiency - cortisol is an important hormone that controls metabolism. Just a thought.
Avatar n tn They have just been medicating the constipation. He just started taking Zantac per my request from the pediatrician. He has not been checked for Celiac or anything else for that matter. He never has diarrhea, could it still be celiacs? The reflux he had as a baby just sort of resolved, but he was always very fussy- so maybe it never did resolve?? Im just at a loss and starting to get concerned.
Avatar f tn Zantac is also perfectly fine and works better for me, I take 150mg every 12h as I need it, seems to work best if you take it on an empty stomach with a good size glass of water about 45min-1h before eating
3055148 tn?1368211800 I ran out of the 75 mg of zantac but I have equate 150 mg its the same thing as zantac but just the.generic brand. Is it ok to take that?
3055148 tn?1368211800 Has anyone ever taken Zantac? My doctor told me to take that everyday instead of taking tums b/c they are pointless, but I kinda don't wanna take medicine.
7349088 tn?1390657733 Has anyone taken zantac during pregnancy for heartburn? I'm 22+5 and have heartburn almost every other day. Sometimes it's so bad that I just want to sleep so i don't feel it.
290867 tn?1333569278 I just wanted to give everyone an update on everything with Julian. Since the last time I posted he has been put on Zantac for his GERD and acid reflux and when he began screaming in pain while eating they also put him on Carafate to help coat his horribly damaged esophagus! The next day after taking both meds he had the worst diaper rash and he is now on a perscription diaper rash ointment as well. He seems to be doing better but still in some pain!
Avatar m tn I seem to be having an extremely weird problem. On Saturday July 17, I had gone to the beach. The day before I had eaten some Chinese food and become bloated the day I had gone to the beach. While I was at the beach I had that strange bloating feeling following me so I ate less. After that I went swimming. Half an hour later I was feeling horrible, I kept needing to go to the washroom and I felt nauseous. I got home without throwing up.
Avatar f tn Other options may be Try milk or any anticids containg calcium or magnesium but avoid antacids that contain aluminum because it can cause constipation and be toxic at high doses. Keep your head elevated at night. Try to figure out what triggers heartburn. Also ginger ( ginger ale or ginger candy) If antacid isn't working you might want to consider something stronger, but talk to your doctor before you for that. For instance tagamet or Zantac. I hope the information is helpful.
Avatar f tn hi i wanted to know if gallstones can cause constipation and also i been having this wierd symptom i feel like i have a fever but i dont does anyone know what this can be
284738 tn?1283106819 right now the doctors have my daughter on Good Start Soy and they have me add cereal to her bottle and she is also on zantac... she still spits up at times and is still fussy...
Avatar f tn My OB said I.could.take Zantac daily cuz my heartburn is so bad. I can still tame tums too when it gets bad. Good luck HB *****!
903710 tn?1248389812 If I understand the equations you are taking an equal amount to 20mg of oxycodone. Sometimes our systems take awhile to adjust to a new medication. Increased constipation is normal when you increase the narcotic.Have you tried taking an OTC med like Zantac GI distress unless contraindicated? Discuss that with a pharmacist who can better direct you. Please let us know how you are doing. I will look forward to your updates.
