Zantac weight loss

Common Questions and Answers about Zantac weight loss

zantac

Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with acid reflux and gastritis. I was on Zantac for a while and was taking natural supplements. When all this started, I couldn't eat over 600-900 calories a day. I was 230 pounds (I am a 41 year old female) when it started and after two months I got down to 207 pounds. Two weeks ago, most of my pain went away and I started eating normally again and the acid reflux was controlled through diet. I have not lost any more weight.
Avatar f tn I would also have your veterinarian check her thyroid panel, as hyperthyroidism can cause increased hunger and weight loss in older cats.
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.
Avatar m tn Also of concern is a weight loss from 198 to 192 in a week and a half. The vomiting and diet change might be the main reason, but I am still watching it, and concerned with how fast it changed. I am also still exercising regularly. I am wondering at what point I should consider seeing my GI doctor for an endoscopy or other tests. I understand this is probably GERD, hiatal hernia, gastritis or gastroparesis.
166219 tn?1267487238 It's very good that it'gaining weight. If Zantac doesn't help I would consider she is having some kind of reaction to formula. I have food intolerance and I get a lot of reflux during the reactions. I was given Prilosec, Zantac, Prevacid... you name it I tried it.... before I (not the docs) figured out that it was intolerance to food.

Avatar n tn my 14 weeks baby girl weighing 12 pounds spits up at least 3 to 4 times every feed (4 feeds per day) and she burps many times as well and she gets all cranky and fussy while burping or spitting.. She doesn't cry excessively but she just seems annoyed and we need to keep distracting her..
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.
484160 tn?1343397921 After month upon month of frustration, the wife goes and buys hubby some extra strength Zantac and within three hours he was wanting a cheeseburger. When the doctors came in that afternoon I asked them to give it a try. After a bit of condescending attitude on the doctor's part, he said, well, it can't hurt her so if that's what you want we will give it a try. It has now been a week since she was released from the hospital and so far, so good.
Avatar f tn She appeared fine all week and only during and after her last walk did we have any suspicion she was not right. No weight loss, no loss of appetite, no noticeable lethargy, no change in her drinking/urination over the last few months. Yet within 24hrs of any suspicion she was gone. Sorry for the long post. I'm just trying to get my head around all of this and am devastated at the loss of my best friend and wondering how I could not have known.
Avatar f tn They also kind of write me off because of my anxiety and panic history. I know my body. This pain is real and the weight loss is scaring me. Anything is appreciated!
Avatar n tn Or will it just stop the condition from getting worse. Also a side effect of Zantac tablets is impotence and loss of libido, because I suffered from Gynocomastia, does this necesserily mean I will/am suffering from loss of libido and impotence? Thanks alot to anyone who helps.
Avatar n tn Going on almost four months now continuously. Taking 60 milligrams of Kapifex in the morning and 150 milligrams of Zantac in the evening. Even that combination isn't working. Anyone out there had GERD to this degree? If so, what did you do to alleviate it. Thanks for any info.
Avatar n tn I believe that prevacid can cause weight gain ..seems so many babies are now diagnosed with reflux we used to call it cholic and wait for it to pass now seems they put them on meds.Still your doctor would know the answer, I think its the meds and whilst you child ius on them he may gain weight.good luck once he is off the meds he may go down to a normal weight.
Avatar f tn Appetite and weight loss are other symptoms. Persons with duodenal ulcers may experience weight gain because the persons eats more to ease discomfort. Recurrent vomiting, blood in the stool and anemia are other symptoms. for more info on GERD/acid reflux see our Health Pages for tips . http://www.medhelp.org/health_pages/list?
Avatar m tn fast weight loss is most of the time lost water and muscles. Fat takes ages to go away. Third: Think of a diet as something permanent. Crash diets just help you gain weight faster once they are over. So, pick some simple rules of a balanced and healthy diet, and follow them. Don't sweat it if you crave for something "bad", to a balanced diet belongs the bad side, too. If you give in now to a small piece of chocolate, it is much better than to eat two whole packages later.
Avatar f tn Yes please talk to your dr, there are many things that could cause rapid or excessive weight loss and some of them can be serious. In addition to Thyroid and GI testing maybe ask about diabetes. It seems odd, but it can cause weight loss.
