I've been taking atorvastatin, all okay for about 3 months then multiple joints hurting and fingers very sensitive to trivial changes in temperature (allodynia). I was checked for...
I have a 3 cm hiatus hernia and am having a lot of reflux issues even with PPI's and H2's. As the situation is gradually worsening I have another scope next week. I can probably do more on the diet...
I'm a life-long heartburn sufferer owing to a hiatus hernia, which has been treated for years with lansoprazole. Gradually things have become more challenging, with increasing care needed over diet,...
Gavison advance is much thicker than the standard Gaviscon, even to the point of being hard to get out of the bottle. I'm not sure if this is the intention, but it is so thick I can easily imagine it...
I've had a major flare up, chest pain continually for 6 weeks or so. I've been diagnosed with hiatus hernia log time ago, which obviously doesn't help and have been on 2 x 15mg lansoprazole for...
Thanks Sharon, I understand your view and I am being cautious, I thought people with a GERD interest may have an informed opinion, via actual use, about DGL....
I have looked into this myself. I have not taken this specific pair, but an equivalent pair (lansoprazole/cimetidine) i.e. PPI/H2 antagonist, during a very bad spell. Normally I just have the PPI....
Getting breakthrough on PPIs in the middle of the night, just wondered if anyone knows if DGL is effective for reflux just before bed?...
What time in the day do you take Omeprazole (and what dose?) and when is the dosing in relation to the next meal? The timing is very important for a good effect. You should take PPIs in the morning...
Seem to have huge amounts of mucous in my throat leading to constant throat clearing. Makes me sound hoarse, breathing doesn't feel normal either, wheezy, possibly because air is passing over mucous....
Issues with almost constant throat clearing during the day in the last month. Oddly there is no issue whatsoever at night. I have a hiatus hernia but that is not new. I cannot tell if phlegm is...
I've been on PPIs since they came out, maybe 30 years? For me, weaning off always has one outcome - pain. A switch to weaker medications like Pepcid also fails. I'd rather not take the PPI but if you...
I imagine you have tried all the obvious stuff but, in case not, what works best for me is; nothing spicy, definitely no tomatoes, multiple small meals instead of three normal ones, nothing to eat 4...
After having issues for years with reflux, I've experienced most of these symptoms at times. A recent unexplained major flare up was sorted out with double-dose PPI, but it took a few weeks and the...
Negative on H.Pylori, double dose PPIs worked in the end, combined with elevated bed, multiple small meals, and gaviscon before bed. Now trying to reduce lansoprazole back to single dose, which for...
I've been treated for years for heartburn/reflux with PPI drugs. What medication is only helping a little? Gavison just before bed is a common treatment, esp on top of PPIs which work better during...
It's been diagnosed as a sliding hiatus hernia. Still not sure why suddenly so much pain while already on PPIs (and now double-dose PPIs). Overall, I'm relieved, it could have been much worse....
Thanks SharonZ, Eating habits have changed a bit simply because of Covid but I think my diet is as bland as ever. Not really any stress, but obviously a lot of change in the world for a while, which...
Very worried, been on lanzoprazole (2 x 15mg) for years and suddenly 6 weeks ago it felt like I'd stopped taking the medication. I'm very diligent with the tablets, always taken correctly. Diet has...
