I have been taking Lansoprazole for about two months. I have the most terrible diarrhoea. My stomach gurgles constantly. The noises are really loud. I have stopped taking it now. The doctor said to go back to Gaviscon. It's a shame as it worked really well for my acid reflux. Anyone else had this problem?

Hi I had the same problem couldn’t leave the house - I tried Lansoprazol because I had Rabeprazole previously, another PPI , caused the same problem! Now just take Acidex liquid that doesn’t really help the constant sore throat and chest pain. Recently had an endoscopy which identified gastritis- waiting for results of biopsy.

10 hours in and I've already been to the loo half a dozen times and stomach hurts. . Not feeling great 😕. Not looking forward to tomorrow if its that diarrhea agsin😪.

Think I'd rather have thd constant sore throat.

I had a camera only down my throat to voice box ( sorry don't know procedure name) inflamed is all I got. And nasal drip.

Not what you're looking for?
