I was diagnosed with gastritis after endoscopy and was prescribed Lansoprazole 30 mg at night after two weeks I had severe reaction to this with migraines and constant diarrhoea which stopped me leaving house it got so bad .I was then switched to famitodine and managed to cope with that for so long taking at night but then headaches became very bad . I obviously don’t suit these meds but now I am not sure as to what I can do now as I am eating very plain diet and living on gaviscon . Has anyone else had this reaction and found something that helps ?

I had severe Gerd at one point for an extended period of time.I followed a strict acid free diet.And eventually after a couple if years I got better.I followed Dr.Jamie Kaufman's book Acid Reflux Diet.

Thank you . I had heard Dr Kaufman mentioned once but wondered if it would be worth buying the book . Think I will buy the book and give it a try as I am desperate for relief .

Hi! I have never had a reaction to this. When you are in bed make sure you are propped up.

Bicarbonate of soda is amazing for this. Taste awful but works. One teaspoon in half cup warm water and drink straight down
