Experiences with

Antacids

Hello I’m having a bout of indigestion I have read the antacid leaflet I didn’t realise to leave 4 hours between taking levothyroxine as it interferes with the absorption, just want others to be aware

This is the third day, took some antacids around 10pm - did not help. I do feel a little more anxious too. Is this just a side effect of the higher dose and will it settle? How long should I ride it out/is there anything that will help?? I honestly don't think I've had it as bad as this before!

Calcium CARBONATE: Absorbs best when taken WITH food, and is often found in antacids like Tums and Rolaids. Calcium carbonate contains more elemental calcium than calcium citrate, but it requires stomach acid to be absorbed.

I was told not to take Tums, or antacids.

I'd prefer not to become dependent on antacids since they have their own health concerns. Thank you very much.

I've tried elevating my upper body when sleeping, antacids, DGL licorice, and omeprazole for the GERD without much luck. Does anyone else struggle with this and how do you deal with it?

Thank God for small mercies .she had a PEG insertion done 2 weeks ago and is on 3 hourly feeds .now she suffers from severe reflux post feed , though all feeding precautions are taken .She is on pantaprazole 40 mg twice a day, domperidone 10 mg thrice , with two antacids .harrowing experience, my poor

On lansoprazole for this but still need antacids on top too occasionally. Don’t really know what to do next. I think seeing a GP about new knee pain is probably a good idea.

Now I've read omeprazole is not an antacid and everywhere says there are no interactions with ppi's and sulfasalazine just antacids and you shouldn't take antacids within 2 hours of sulfasalazine. I seem to be spending my days living my life by the clock to take meds!

Apparently antacids may do same but there is less evidence. Aside from lifestyle changes is anyone who has experienced RLS augmentation aware of other options or had experience with H2 Receptor Antagonists (for treating severe reflux)?

Also on statins, no antacids. Been taking on apixaban and bP I think for 10 months Flecanide for 3 yrs. I have also got a cough first thing in the morning,not a lot..but it’s there for half hr and in the night if I wake for a wee..which is normal.

Over-the-counter antacids, such as Gaviscon, may also help. Another option is surgery to correct the hiatus hernia. I’d suggest your son speaks to his GP.

I have tried all sorts of solutions... have been prescribed antacids for GERD (didnt work), have tried antihystamines and changed bed clothes/diet in case of allergies (didn't work), drink lots of water, taken over the counter pain killers. Nothing touches it.

In the past I used BC pills, Proton Pump Inhibitors and antacids, so doctors think that those meds could have caused malabsorption. I also was iron anemic for around 5 years, cause unknown, and I eat meat often and tested negative for celiac. I still always have very low Ferratin.

Optimally once daily with overlapping treatment with short acting antacids, I am already using Gaviscon, Rennies, Maalox ?

From gastritis, to guts, throat, and neurological (ended up with B12 and Iron issues because they gave me PPI, H2 and antacids at the same time! For what they said was reflux... but what I feel may be gluten) This all started with issues with my stomach and gut AGES ago. Later started tingling.

They put me on PPI, H2, and antacids (at the same time) and then my b12 went low, so now I am under b12 treatment. My hormones have been all over the place.

I suffer with ectopic beats and after I eat they seem more noticeable , I don't think it is linked to any particular food maybe just a full stomach ? I also need to burp a lot 🤭 thankfully just burps !! I occasionally get a little heartburn but not that much . I have read about the ' gastric cardio

Anyone found antacids that work before the acid reflux affects you?

Hello, I wonder if anybody else with experience of this and if so can you remember if it passed? I’m finally back on Tocilizumab after an ankle replacement, 2 bouts of C-diff, a chest infection and minor surgery for an ingrowing toenail. It’s been a bad 3 months and my RA has been flaring the whole
