Experiences with

Antacids

I have just seen something about using antacids to help protect tummy. Does anyone else have the same problem or have tried this approach? Thanks for listening

Any antacids that would be okay? I’m already taking Zofran for nausea, but if it’s an ulcer I’m going to need an actual antacid.

I have had burning after eating and drinking ever since below and to the left of my sternum and above bove my belly button, antacids eases the pain, i also have lots of lower gas pain in the morning but goes away after i brake wind. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Been on heart tablets for 9 years after having 2 stents fitted - and on Ramipril, Bisoprolol, Atorvastatin, gastric coated Aspirin and Ranitidine, which after a few weeks in the drugs, have been absolutely fine. However Ranitidine was withdrawn in December, and put on Omeprazole. Got a lot of indigestion

I find antacids that bring the wind up will help calm it down. Is this actually WPW showing itself, or stomach related? I'm not asking for any diagnosis, but who better to ask than people who know what it's like?! I'll be grateful for any advice, or even to know it's not just me!

Saw a doctor, he is still prescribing me Rabeprazole, Sucralfate 1000mg and Antacids. It's been 2 weeks taking those, no improvements. Is this a gas problem caused by medication or something serious? Has anyone experienced this? And my age is 18.

This also caused severe constipation so had to calm down with the antacids. I don't smoke. I'm healthy weight. I don't drink. I don't drink caffeine only 1 cup if decaff. I've stopped the chocolate and spicy foods. I prop up to sleep, waiting for my wedge pillow to be delivered.

For the school of thought that GERD can be caused by excess stomach acid, antacids such as proton pump inhibitors (PPI) like Prilosec, Nexium & Prevacid, antacids such as baking soda or Tums and histamine antagonists such as Cimetidine/Tagamet and Zantac which work as histamine receptor antagonists.

I just read an article that someone who takes antacids should be taking calcium citrate. I have big stomach issues so I take a lot of different things for my stomach and I had never heard this. My latest dexa scan indicated more damage to my bones in the last two years.

Does anyone have a remedy without antacids for excess burping and gas? I never had this problem until I started Revela for phosphorus control.

After antacids did not help much so my GP put me on omeprazole 20mg once a day which I took for about 3.5 weeks. He thinks I have over acid production. My Hellicobater test was negative and my blood tests were all fine too.

Initially I tried to manage it with antacids Rennie for a week. Then I spoke with the doctor who said it's due to overproduction of acid in the guts and prescribed Omeprazole 20mg daily. I have taken this medicine for 2 weeks now together with very mild food.

I have some antacids in the cuboard for her from a previous problem. Open to suggestions,thank you!

She offered me antacids medicines but refused to change me back to Bonviva " because it isn't as good" In 2006 my T score was -2.9 at hip, -1.9 at the spine.

I tried nasal strips, antacids, and melatonin 6mg before bed and that seems to really help about 80-90% of the time. Has anyone found any other methods for maintaining consistent good sleep for many nights in a row without necessitating a CPAP? Or is a CPAP absolutely necessary?

I tried to change my diet less soda more healthy But have been getting heartburn burps some acid reflux I took some antacid and this did help But l read that it’s not good to combine with aspirin for long Anyone else have suggestions please? I am wondering if it’s the aspirin? Been on it for two

A sustained higher level of magnesium may be a sign of Addison's disease, hyperparathyroidism, hypothyroidism, high intake of antacids or laxatives, or kidney disease. The ferritin level is high.

And antacids or painkillers do not relieve this feeling. So, I went for another abdominal scan, and they found small gallstones... but they’re saying these aren’t the cause of my symptoms.

I have been takin apixaban since early December 2020, and since the end of the year I have had almost constant indigestion (and gas). Antacid prescription meds haven't worked. I have been advised by a medical expert to change to Edoxaban as it's not loaded with lactose. Anyone else experience the same
