Hi! My doctor prescribed me domperidone because I suffer from bad, slow digestion and nausea. Have someone tried it? How long does it take to feel any effects? ## Hello, Silvia! How are you? Some effects should immediate, but it may take a few weeks for it to reach its full level of efficacy. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, flatulence and bloating. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Hi! Thank you! I'm taking it for three weeks now and it hasn't work very much until now.

I am 56 year old diabetes patient. Currently suffering from IBD (colon infection). Can i take chymoral forte for digestion as well to reduce IBD? ## Chymoral Forte contains the active ingredient Trypsin, this is a protease commonly found in the digestive system. As to whether or not you can safely use it, this site is not medical professionals and do not have information on your medical history or other medications, so it would be remiss of us to try and advise you on that. I would suggest you ask your doctor if it can be of benefit to you and is safe to take considering your medical conditions and other medications. I will state, however, that these are touted to help with many things, but they are really not proven to do so. You can read more about it here: Is there anything else I ca...

Can I take Prilosec OTC 20.6mg while taking Dexilant Caps. 60mg in the morning. ## Dexilant contains the active ingredient Dexlansoprazole, it is most commonly used to reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach to treat GERD. Prilosec contains the active ingredient Omeprazole, which is a medication in the same class, thus using both is not advisable, because it is doubling up on the same type of medication. Have you consulted your doctor? If you are still experiencing heart burn and acid problems, while taking the Dexilant, it may not be the right medication for you.

I have problem with digestion there is little pain in lower side of system. ## if we contiue take vibact tablet , is couses some side effects or not? ## Vibact is a probiotic supplement, used to restore the natural balance of the body, however, since it is not an actual medication, the side effect profiles for it have not been studied, as is done for prescription drugs. And Medha, have you seen a doctor? If you are suffering pain, then it is very important that you do so, to get a proper diagnosis, rather than trying to self treat.

Discovering what it causing your problem and getting proper treatment is going to require a medical exam. No one is going to be able to provide you with a solution from just a short post online. It could be from digestion problems, a bowel blockage, hormonal imbalance or any one of a number of other possible health issues.

Hey everbody, for those on Bupropion, how did it effect your digestion? Especially those, who are having/had a "good" digestion with like 2 or 3 times defecation a day - did the Bupropion somehow made you constipated so that you couldnt go that often any more? And how long after the first pill did this start? Thanks much! ## This medication could cause constipation as a side effect, according to NIH reports, you may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and mood changes. However, it really is not normal to defecate 2 to 3 times a day. Most people go once a day, or less. Has anyone else experienced this issue with this medication? Most people go once a day, or as little as once a week. ## Ofc it is normal to go 2-3 times a day (just check the transit times of food); howeve...

Whether unienzyme helps to digest food & reduce blood sugar levels? I am having type-II diabetes & my sugar levels are 169/199 (fasting/PP). ## Unienzyme contains activated charcoal, fungal diastase and pepsin, which may help with digestion issues, but they will not do anything to lower your blood sugar levels. Learn more dietary supplement details here. What has your doctor recommended for treating your diabetes? ## Can unienzyme tab be taken continuously for 3-4 months?

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 found from past use of antibiotics that my digestion suffers. I have used probiotics to help with the problem and am wondering if and how you recomend taking probiotics with Amoxil. ## your not really supposed to take other things with the drug.talk to your doctor about your digestion problems ## Now a post from back in February. You really are into the antibiotic posts. Yes, some things you take can effect how well a drug works for you, so you shouldn't take anything, even over the counter items, without consulting your doctor or pharmacist.

i do not think the op version of oxycontin are working.they seem to go through me without digestion.i have literally seen them in the toilet up to 6 hours after ive taken them so im not getting relief from the pain. are the old version ones still made and provided to pharmecies? ## No, the old ones are no longer available. However, it is normal to find the tablet shell of these time released Oxycontin OP in your stool, later. However, it is just the shell, the medication is slowly released from it. As to the problem with them not working, there have been many complaints about this, as well. You can contact both Purdue Pharma and the FDA to let them know of your complaints, the more people that do so, the more attention they will pay to the problem. Purdue Pharma number for drug safety/m...

Muscle weakness over both shoulders just once or twice a day, extreme thurst, increased hunger, confusion came and went.....as per doctors advise , I went to 1/2 the medicine, did better for a day- better digestion, frequent urination made me lose water weight but on the third day, I got those same system.... ## Hello, Sonal! How are you doing? It is normal to experience side effects, when you first start taking a medication, because your body needs to get used to it. They will usually wear off after about 4 weeks or so, once your body adjusts. This is working to lower you blood sugar, which means that it must have been high and it's actually elevated sugar levels that cause the thirst, hunger and increased...

Does Aminosyn 3.5% sulfite free effectively replace food nutrition? ## This is just a crystalline amino acid solution with electrolytes; nothing more. I study in the field of nutrition and don't believe any supplement can compare to whole food nutrition; especially fresh fruits and vegetables. It is important to know that ALL whole foods contain amino acids in various quantities. The problem with supplements is that these certain nutrients are extracted from their whole food form and you are left without all the other enzymes, vitamins and minerals in that food that aid in digestion and also help other bodily functions as opposed to just doing one thing. Think of it as having a really souped up BMW and none of the special features work except being able to drive it. It is also impor...
