Losec

I have been put on Losec for my reflux, which is particularly bad at night, but I am finding that it is making my IBS C much worse. As most will understand a fibre supplement only makes the bloating and pain worse. Anyone else find this with Losec and if so what did you do, please?

Hi Castlerea, thank you for replying. What is it you take a tablespoon of as you don’t actually say? I do take linseeds every morning, but the Losec seems to be creating a lot more gas which gets around my stomach and feels awful. What time of day do you take the Losec? Ros

Hi Scooby, my Losec is a drug capsule from the Dr for acidity. I have stopped them at the moment as they seem to make things worse. Gaviscon always gives me more gas, I think it is the bicarb in it which generates more gas, and these symptoms are affecting my sleep. They are such difficult problems to deal with. I wish you well.
