Bad acid and gas

[Rcnavigated76 24]

Anyone know if we can take anything for acid and gas. I'm just over two weeks out and I'm taking protonix everyday but it's still really bad.

My doctor sent us home with omeprazole to take twice a day. I couldn't function without it. I'm two months out. The acid is no fun at all!

K thank you. I gotta figure something out for sure.

yup, omeprazole here too.

Call the doc and tell him your symptoms and get on some acid blockers pronto!

Then in the future, like after you're on solids, try to figure out what foods kick it up the worst. For me, certain dairy had to be eliminated. I think over time I can lower my dose.

I was sent home with omeprazole too. I accidentally tossed it with my pain meds and anti-nausea meds though. I didn't need it. Check with your doc. You definitely need some relief!

Protonix is supposed to be my acid pill I thought. It seems to be only when I wake up. I'm wondering if I could do chewable tums. Gonna call doc today.

I have really bad acid reflux and have to take 1 Prilosec everyday to control it. My doctor approved me for 1 over the counter Prilosec a day with a good probiotic. Antacids disrupt the Ph in your gut, causing your body to eliminate a lot of the good bacteria. So in order to avoid that you have to pair up.

Hope that helps.

I have researched this and they recommend taking an antacids prior to each meal to avoid acid reflux.
