I did not experience the gas but i did and still do with the reflix...Horrible! The gas will need to dissapate and i dont think there is much you can do at first. The acid is something i hate so i have to take DAILY prevacid or a pill like that for at least 4 to 5 months. Another thing with acid is it can fool you into feeling hungry even though you may not be. Im at week 8 and its got better as the weeks progress.

Good Luck

in th begining i felt hunger pain untill someone told me it was reflux. i had capsuls and called oncall doctor he gave me the ok to take prevacid capsuls and then it got worsee. i was in soo muxh pain. and the reflux enhanced. now it actually feels like reflux comin thru my throat rather than a hunger pain. i could not sleep last night due to reflux. today ibcalled my doctors office they said i should not have takin capsul and from now on empty and crush the med i did so today i think it helped a little with reflux.

Get someone to pick u up some gas-Ex, their dissolvable stops & have worked great for me! You can get them anywhere like Walmart....where the tums & stuff is.
