domperidone and gerd

I am going to get domperidone today. Anyone else take this for gerd or lpr and have good results. Hoping it will move the food out quicker as well as the bile

i take the acid pills too, the pharmacist said take them both 30 minutes before eating. i am supposed to take them 2 times a day how often do you take them. also, i am supposed to hold off starting as it can cause qt prolongation in the heart and i am checking my electrocardiogram results from a few years ago..i know it said something about a qt interval..plus i take another med. with the same side effects so i have to check with dr. before i start. i had to get it compounded as it is banned in us but that was easy

what are ectopic beats that sounds scary man why do the things we need to help us cause so many issues. it is that or reglan. also tell me more about the ph. i deliberately avoid anything other than low ph foods. i dont understand i avoid all high ph foods. it is what i was told

Joe,

Ectopic beats are also known as premature ventricular contractions (PVC's).

From the marvelous Wikipedia:

"A PVC may be perceived as a "skipped beat" or felt as palpitations in the chest. In a normal heartbeat, the ventricles contract after the atria have helped to fill them by contracting; in this way the ventricles can pump a maximized amount of blood both to the lungs and to the rest of the body. In a PVC, the ventricles contract first, which means that circulation is inefficient. However, single beat PVC arrhythmias do not usually pose a danger and can be asymptomatic in healthy individuals."

If you have concerns it's probably best to go back and talk to your doctor.

Take care,
Ashley

you can buy a ph meter to messure the ph of drinks. I am not sure about food though. I got my PH meter on amazon.com
