I am on Coumadin, and am in the middle of an IBS attack.....I'm wondering if Gas-X affects the Coumadin level or is it safe to take while on it??? I'm not going in for a pro-time for the Coumadin for another week, so would really like an answer. ## Coumadin contains the active ingredient Warfarin, it is most commonly used a blood thinner. There aren't any interactions listed for it when taken with Gas-X, but this site is not medical professionals, so you should double check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. You can read more about this medication here: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## I want to take gasx being on warfarin not not if it a problem.

I have been on Rabeprazole for over a year now and occasionally I get a large build up of gas in my stomach which causes considerable pain/discomfort, as sometimes burping is also difficult. Is this a common side effect or should I be concerned? ## Rabeprazole can cause some gas as a side effect, but if you're taking it every day and only experiencing the gas occasionally, then it might not be what's causing the problem for you. Learn more Rabeprazole details here. Thus, I'd suggest looking into other possible causes. Are you doing anything else different on the days you get gassy? Are you drinking more coffee, or soda than usual? Maybe just gulping drinks? Eating salad? Dark leafy greens? Or a lot of soft, yeast breads? Are you on any other medications? Do you have any othe...

I'm going to be going back on Topamax after coming off it due to gastrointestinal issues. It is the only thing that keeps me from getting migraines and there is no pain involved with the stomach problems. However, the side effect is unpleasant. Basically I have liquid bowels when I use it. Even after taking it over 6 months. Will that go away or is there a way I can counteract that? ## What have you already tried to remedy that side effect? What does your normal diet consist of? The FDA warns that you should not follow any high fat, low carb diet while taking this medication. Its other typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, nervousness, headaches, and unusual bruising. Ref: Topamax Information Does you doctor have any ideas to help with prevention of the diarrhea?
