Can't go

[Gail72]

Does any one have consiptation as well as acid reflux

[Sammy05]

Hi Gail,

Yes I do... what meds’ are you on... I’m taking Lansoprazol as well as Ranitidine and both side affects are constipation.

Try taking a laxative at bedtime and in time fingers crossed you should get into a routine

[Gail72 in reply to Sammy05]

I have a feeling of something stuck in my throat have you and I have a little cough and twice orange stuff I bought up and at times I feel I get regurgitate food

[zerocokegirl in reply to Gail72]

Yes I have that too and sometimes I can actually feel food come back up too. I’ve also had this cough for months now and had a Spirometry test ( for lungs) which came back normal so now doctors have referred me for an Endoscopy.

If you haven’t already go and see your GP and request an Endoscopy... early diagnosis is always the best.

Trust me I’ve been through so much with acid reflux even had surgery but it’s back again!!

[Mindcrazedbanjo in reply to Sammy05]

I was told by the consultant not to take Lansoprazol AND Ranitdine, just one or the other. I buy Windsettlers from Poundland now.

You can also try and make sure that you drink enough water, as that can make you constipated at times.

[Mary-intussuception]

Yes. Drinking plenty of water will help and switching to decaf tea. Avoiding foods that cause constipation until you get good regular bowel movements which will take time. Gradually changing over to a healthy high fibre diet will help. - Three pieces of fruit a day (avoid oranges ) and well cooked root vegetables. Fish and only small portions of meat.

Avoid cheese, marshmallows, sweets made from gum / hard jellies, bread especially white, pastry,

Have you ever had a Barium Enema or Barium Swallow or any scans?
