gabybab 696 Posted April 21, 2019 Does anyone take gerd medicine and Probiotics together? I'm having stomach pain and I saw the Dr yesterday and she said to take the protonix for one more month and if it is not better they will do an endoscopy. I'm 2 months out.

FancyChristine15 810 Posted April 22, 2019 I take both. I take my Prevacid first thing in the morning. I take my probiotic after dinner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gabybab 696 Posted April 22, 2019 Christine, do you eat yogurt too? I had my sleeve 2 months ago and I get an ache in my stomach that comes real quick and goes. I'm hoping the protonix and probiotic might help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hop_Scotch 1,632 Posted April 23, 2019 Have you tried kefir? If you can stomach it it is a good source of probiotics. 1 CCJC reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sillykitty 10,776 Posted April 23, 2019 I know many people who are both probiotics and GERD meds. Theoretically GERD meds should help probiotics be more effective. If your stomach is less acidic the probiotic bacteria have a better chance of surviving and making it to your intestines to set up shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
