Lansoprazole

Anyone else suffer from stomach cramps and wind due to lansoprazole ?

Nothing at all, it's fine, it works. How long have you been taking it for?

[Hidden in reply to Inamoment]

Four years

Not a new user then. There are various zole's, maybe another would suit. Ask your gp

I agree. Keep trying new ones till one works. I got there at the 4th!

I've been on them since January and the majority of the time I'm fine. But a few times if I eat something fatty or salty I feel like s..t. I feel sick and go grey in colour and get stomach ache. Only usually lasts for a day, but it whips me out.

No but my daughter did.

She went back to the GP and was prescribed Omeprazole instead and that was that really.

Hope this helps.

YES!! I also find that it just stops working after a while and I have to swap over to omeprazole!!

My doctor has given me alverine to take when it’s bad, it’s an antispasmodic and it does work!!

I am unable to take any of the "azole" PPIs as, ironically, they disagree with my stomach. I did for a period find that I was ok with a reduced dose.

I just stopped taking them

Hi

Yes I do !!! Stomach feels likes your on a rollercoaster for a few seconds a couple of times a day & have the wind thing going on too did you get rid of it ? I was going to phone my GP thanks

[Hidden]

I think it's a case of working with your GP to find what suits you best. I don't get any problems taking it but I did get bad wind and fairly regular severe bloating taking omeprazole.

I was told mine was most likely due to IBS not been as bad since I cut out various vegetables
