Hi, I know that we are supposed to avoid ibuprofen if we have gastritis, but can we take standard cold medicines (with decongestants)? My sinus are acting up and I have a family wedding coming up...
I have been prescribed a PPI for gastritis, but I dont' have GERD. For me, I have constant nausea, so the idea is to reduce stomach acid will lessen the nausea. Am sorry that your'e suffering so....
Thanks for the encouraging words. Sounds very promising. Am sorry it's so expensive for you. Wonder if my insurance will cover it...but if it works and makes you feel better, the cost is worth it....
Hi, I was diagnosed back in March with gastritis (not GERD, but releated so am posting here). My main symptom is nausea. I was given tecta for a week, which helped but the nausea soon returned. Thus,...
Thanks mudmagnetmum, Do you still have nausea? I've had it daily for 4 months now, and don't see any end in sight. Yeah, I had an endoscopy and the helicobacter test was negative. My GI just saw a...
I have been given something for the nausea, but it doesn't do much (which is ironic since the prescription says that its to help nausea from chemotherapy so you would expect it to be powerful stuff)....
Hi, My issues started back in March where I had awful nausea that wouldn't go away. I was put on a PPI for a week (tecta), which helped but then the nausea returned along with stomach pains and...
That's part of why I want to stop it. My GI didn't put me on it (said it was ok but didn't suggest it). It was my rheumatologist that gave it to me if I want to try taking my anti-inflammatory again....
Hi, I've been taking a PPI (tecta) for just over 4 weeks now and would like to stop. It has been helping lessen my nausea from gastritis, but I don't want to be on it long term as i've heard warnings...
Hi,. I remember being so scared for this test. I mean, they were putting something down my throat. Everyone assured me it wasn't bad and sure enough, I was sedated and didn't feel a thing...was...
Question. I keep seeing many on here recommend carafate for gastritis. I was in the US recently and when I asked the pharmasict at Target if they had it, they said it was prescription. Is it over the...
Hi, I also have gastritis, with nausea being my primary symptom. The theory is it's from taking celebrex for inflammatory issues, but not sure as my symptoms didn't go away when I stopped the...
Thank you all for the replies. Really appreciate it. skitt, good to know that Carafate is available in Canada. My thing is, my GI only saw inflammation in my stomach...no ulcers or issues in my...
Hi Doggbones, I was in the US for the weekend (I'm in Canada) and took a look for Carafate. Didn't see it so asked the pharmacist and it's apparently prescription only. So doesn't seem like an...
Ok thanks. But with my original question...any idea how long it's ok to be on a PPI without suffering from rebound effects?...
But I don't have an ulcer...just inflammation....
I have gastritis (not GERD) with my main symptom being nausea. When my problems started, i took a PPI (tecta) for a week. This helped with the nausea but also had other symptoms such as burning and...
It may or may not be gastritis. For me, it wasn't awful inflammation that was seen, but it was there. But your endoscopy would have shown inflammation if it was there. I find when the nausea is bad,...
AM sorry to hear you're suffering so. I am the same...have constant nausea. I don't have GERD but my GI did see inflammation in my stomach during an endoscope. Did the scope show any inflammation? My...
Hi, A bit of an update and I have another question. At present, my most dominat symptom of the gastritis is nausea (which is awful when i need to function). about 3 weeks ago, I started taking one...
Have you tried a PPI or something like over the counter zantac? I don't have gerd but have gastritis and also get constant nausea. It's awful. My GI did prescribe ondansetron to take 3 times a day. I...
Hi, Hope it's ok to post here as from a previous post, i don't think i have GERD. But I do have some inflammation in my stomach as seen by an endoscopy (i.e. gastritis). No other abnormalities were...
Thank you both. I didn't realize that there are reboud effects. I was thinking of trying a PPI (which I have a prescription if needed), only 1/day starting a few days before our trip and then ending...
Thank you willcomover. I did have an endoscopy and no issuse with my esophagus...just the inflammation in my stomach. I get burning in my stomach after eating and burping but not the sore throat...
I've been having issues for 2 months now . My symptoms include the following, with one of them being dominat at any one time * nausea (most common) * stomach burning * stomach tightness * stomach...
Thanks Denise. I've emailed my GI and am awaiting a response. Great to hear that you've found a medicaiton that works for you. I simply asked about meds in general, but didn't want to ask about...
Thanks for your reply. Isn't Carafate used for ulcers? My lining has inflammation but don't think the GI saw any ulcers. My insurance covers specific drugs, so would depend which one is on the list....
Hi, A bit of history first...I had ulcerative colitis when I was 15 and ended up having my colon removed (jpouch). Since then I have also developed sacroiliitis, of which I've taken lots of advil...
Thanks for the replies. deltaforce, the normal dose for celebrex is 2x/day. I initially took it only when needed, but then increased it to 1x/day as my joint issues were getting worse. Funny enough,...
I had a bad case of colitis when I was 15 and ended up having my colon removed (have a jpouch now). I also have joint issues (sacroilitiis) and have been taking 1 celebrex a day and sometimes an...
Hi Cheryl, I dont' have an answer to your questino, but just saying that you're not alone. I get inflammation of the joints, and the past 6 months or so my bicep/shoulder area has been really aching...
Thanks deltaforce. Now that I think of it, I also had bleeding when taking naproxen many years ago. Hmm ok...so not sure if my stomach issues...which is now mostly burning after eating... are related...
Hi, For anyone that has had issues taking NSAIDs, can I ask what happens / fells like? I've have my Jpouch for about 25 years with minimal issues (just bouts of pouchitis). This past Monday I was...
I have the same thing...in the morning I have cough attacks and today my nose is running like a facet. I have been diagnosed with asthma, which doesn't come out as trouble breathing (except in...
I'm so sorry Gretchen. I saw the frustration and limitaitons in my mom with not being able to walk. I am having the odd numbness...either bottom of my feet if I go on the treadmill, or fingers or arm...
flutterby, looked up that pillow and it looks sooo comfy. Will have to look for somethign like that in my area....
Hi, My mom had MS and I always have a big fear of myself getting it, or worse, my kids. I've been experiencing strange symptoms lately so am a bit extra nervous, but also have back issues so it could...
Sounds like the pains are a common thing of arthirits. Sucks doesn't it? Where do you buy these body pillows? Any tips for the arm pain? Mine is getting quite bad but as I have to sleep on my side, I...
SkippyMom, am sorry you suffer from the arm pain too. For me, I find that it's better if I can keep it straight, but that isn't natural when sleeping on your side (and I can't lie on my back cause of...
That's exactly what aches at night...legs and shoulder/bicep areaSorry you suffer from this too....
wearyRAsufferer, that sounds sooo comfy!...
bluejeans, am sorry you're suffering too. Not fun is it? And it's like catc-22 as I'm so tired from having such sleepless nights due to the pain but then I don't' want to go to bed because of the...
So I should worry then?...
Thank you both. I'll give it a try and see if it helps. I did try it awhile back and found it uncomfortable, but it may have been the wrong size....
Thank you for your words and advice. You have made me feel better as I was quite worried...and will always worry with my kids as my mom had it (i.e. genetic component). I often read here and feel for...
Anyone have leg aches and arm aches at night? I'm not talking about sudden cramps but a constant strong ache. I have to switch sides or even get out of bed to ease the pain. (I think my arthritis is...
Thanks for the reply. SO the numbness and sore legs at night are probably not MS? I do have back issues so perhaps it's related to that. I must admit though that I"m quite scared of a chiropractor....
Thank you both. couchtater, good to know that no incline wsa the best for you. I am worried too of an incline causing stress on my joint (SI joints in my case...am guessing knees in your case?)....
Hi, This past while I've been noticing that my arms fall asleep (i.e. get that tingly feeling) when I put any pressure on them. A night time, I lie on my side with my arms supporting my head and so...
I get inflammation of my SI joints and have a hard time exercising (which I love to do). The exercise bike hurts my lower back after a few minutes. The elliptical ultimately hurts my SI joints...
