Is Dextrol ever used to treat GERD? ## Yes, Dextrol is used to treat all kinds of digestion problems. I use it and it is very effective. My personal MD told me that his wife had taken the purple pill for 20 years when they found Dextrol. After two days she quit taking the former pill and is so much better. I like it because it is all natural. No drugs. It works. I have a hiatal hernia and several other digestive problems. I do recommend it. You just have to try it.

I have GERD, which is reflux disease and the Victoza seems to make it worse. I also have a sliding hiatal hernia. Does anyone else have this issue? ## It is really hard to say what is causing it, it could be your medical issues, or the medication. The FDA warns that other side effects from Victoza may possibly include nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. Is this the only medication you take? What have you tried to treat the GERD?

Hi I have been suffering from anxiety attacks for the past year now my Dr gave me 0.50mg alzam which I took 1 at night to calm me as I get heart pulpitations esp at night when I have to go sleep. And when I run out I just go back to my Dr and he gives it to me freely without questions. Lately Im taking 0.25 at night and 0.25 when ever I feel anxious. I would like to stop but heard that you can suffer severe side effects when stopping cold turkey. I feel like I am more anxious now than I have been before taking the alzam and also I have developed either gerd or gastro because i have a constant tight feeling in my chest i feel nausea headaches and body aches and sometimes i just feel really ill and i also feel very tired and dont want to do anything but sleep.please tell me if this is fro...

My father has acidity problems. There is pain in the upper part of the stomach, mostly after dinner/evening. The doctor (Gastroentrologist) said that it is GERD and prescribed the following medicine, Capsule P-ZOLE-L, Tablet BIZLO-OD, Syrup LACTIHEP, Syrup CRISLIN and tablet ETICLID. He also advised for UGIE (endoscopy). He developed the gas and acidity condition after the treatment for diabetes and also has inguinal hernia. I am bit confused as the medicines keep changing when we see another doctor and the problem still remains. Kindly advice whether the prescribed medicines are safe and are for the treatment of the problem mentioned. It is problem because of hernia? can hernia operation be done in this condition? Kindly reply and advice. Thank you.

I lost my sense of taste a few weeks ago. Mostly sweets. It comes back sometimes but always goes back out. I also have a sore throat and phlegm. Smell appears fine. The doctor thinks I may have GERD because of the throat issues and I do burp a lot. When I do burp there is no taste to it like heartburn but he says that there doesn't have to be. I took my first pill today and today was a decent tasting day. Within four hours of taking the pill my taste was gone again. I how this is a coincidence. I had tried 75 mg of Zantac before and didn't see a difference either way. Could taking the Tecta be making my taste worse if my issue is in fact not gerd? Also can it cause constipation? Antibiotics for example give me severe constipation. I'm starting to get very depressed with the ...

Hi, My name is Albert (35)Male and bit of obese. living south India. I am taking Omez 20mg from past 6 years I feel comfortable and no GERD problem and I have find any problem(side effects) so far. Please advice is it OK to continue with same medicine or should I have to switch. And will be there any problem in furhter since I have taken this Omez 20mg for 6 years. Please give me your valuable suggestion. ## Have you consulted your doctor and are they aware that you've been taking it continuously for so long? The issue here is that these types of medications are not actually recommended for such long-term usage. Omeprazole and its relatives, are usually only used for 2 to 4 months, then discontinued, so they haven't actually been studied for their long-term effects.

Hi, Thank you for the help. I am suffering with GERD since quite some time. Earlier days I used to have some heart burn and it would relieve from anti-acid tables and syrups. However, from past 2-3 years the acid reflux has become worse, with lot of choking sensation in throat, heaviness in throat, un-easiness in breathing and it gets worse when I go for bed, each time I need to cough and drink water to make my-self a bit comfortable. This sensation remains most of the day when I take some citric foods and in nights I can’t sleep. I tried elevating the front portion of bed and going for bed 2 hours after a meal, however, these artifacts were proved to be of not much help. I am on Neksium 40mg daily one before food and Gaviscon syrup after food only at night, this table relieves th...

My mother was taking Omeprazole for about a year for her GERD, and she started to develop a severe side effect which is generally unreported - extreme depression. Needless to say I urged her to stop that medication and take a hard look at some natural supplements for her diet. Being at her wit's end, she did some research and came across individuals who had reported supplementing Apple Cider Vinegar (RAW, ORGANIC) into their daily diets, and it had helped to regulate their digestive issues. Has anyone else heard about this? She is taking the Bragg Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar by the way. Truth be told, I am just pleased that she is back to her normal, happy self. ## I was prescribed omeprazole by my Dr for acid reflux and gurd,it worked great til I couldnt afford it.Someone to...

I have been on xalkori for about a year now; diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer that mets to the pancreas. Lately, I have been waking up in the middle of the night with really bad acid reflux... wondering if anyone else taking Xalkori has experienced this. ## I have been on Xalkori for 8 months and i have sometimes experienced acid reflux as well, my doctor said he wasn't sure Xalkori could be blamed for that. I have noticed that the reflux mainly happens when I have a heavy meal for dinner. So what i do now is that i drink a glass of water with a little baking soda before going to bed and it seems to work well against the acidity in the stomach. Moreover, I put an extra pillow under my head and it's much better like this. I think that a light dinner can partly solve the proble...

I am on raciper 40 mg can I have folvite 5mg as I am on restricted diet. Can u help me with right diet chart ## I really can't tell you much, without knowing what dietary restrictions you have. There are many ways, in which, someone's diet can be restricted medically, some people have to watch their sodium intake, for some people it is strictly due to GERD, for others it is due to food allergies, it is also possible to have more than one. I will gladly help, but you need to be a little more specific. Raciper contains the active ingredient Esomeprazole, which is a proton pump inhibitor used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach. If this is the reason you are on a restricted diet, then you will want to stay away from any foods that cause a lot of acid, such as sour ...

I've had an acid problem for more than 10 years. 3 years back I had done my endoscopy which showed mild oesophagitis and GERD; and took pantoparazole, livosulpride, ulcon for 2 months continuously then occasionally when required with partial relief. Now after 3 years endoscopy still shows mild oesophagitis with small hiatal hernia and mild due dignities. Doctor prescribed pantoparazole 40 and itopride. How long should I take it and what is the best treatment? ## You should take the medications as long as your doctor instructs you to do so, usually they are taken for anywhere from one to four months. The U.S. FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and stomach pain. There is no particular best treatment, since everyone is different, it re...

I have Gerd. Have taken amoxicillin many times for bladder infections, but now am taking AMOX TR-K CLV for the first time for another bladder infection. The Gerd is really "acting up". Any suggestions? ## What you are taking now is Amoxicillin with Clavulanic Acid, it is the generic for Augmentin and it is likely the Clavulanic Acid that is contributing to the increased GERD flare. Learn more Augmentin details here. Do you take anything for your GERD? Do you take the medication with food or on an empty stomach?

As a long time sufferer of GERD with Barrett’s Esophagus, I have been taking Tussionex since 2008 as the medicine of last resort to control severe bouts of heartburn based on a study reported in the World Gastroenterology Journal (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PMC2689423). My gastroenterologist has provided me with a prescription for the medication for some time; however, after the recent passage of a new law in New Jersey to help control the abuse of opioid prescriptions for the treatment of pain he has become reluctant to continue the providing me with a prescription for Tussionex. I would like to find out if the primary ingredient of Tussionex (hydrocodone) is considered a Schedule II drug under the definition provided in the New Jersey Controlled Substances Law (njconsumeraffairs.gov/Statu...

I am taking sazo 2000 regular for RA. Now feeling acute acidity and a bad smell always coming from stomach preferably moring, evening and when taking wheat product. ## Hi, Bapi! That can happen with excess acidity and having the issue with wheat products means you may be gluten intolerant. What type of testing has your doctor done? The Sulfasalazine in the Sazo could be contributing to the problem, since it is known to cause gastric upset and distress. Learn more Sazo details here. Have you consulted your doctor about it? You may need to try a different medication for your RA.

pleas help to know about the pain i suffer on the left lower abdomen and centre of the abdomen also the pain in the abdomen while and after passing stools i am with severe constipation and some time i see blood in the stools what is this symptoms points out? ## There is really no way anyone is going to be able to give you a diagnosis from just the short information in a post in the Internet. There are far too many possible causes and it will require a doctors consultation and exam to pinpoint the cause. Blood in your stool could be caused by a stomach ulcer, hemorrhoids, Gastritis, or quite a few other options. The pain could be from an ulcer, Gastritis or just gas. Have you contacted your doctor?
