Has anyone taken carafate for GERD? Has it worked for you? I just started taking Carafate. This is the second time I am changing the therapy and I hope it will work this time.
I took Carafate, but couldn't stay on it for long. I broke out into a rash from I, something in that drug my system didn't like. I have heard though that carafate is an OK drug with very little side effects. I took it for gastritis, not for GERD, but I have heard it is prescribed for people with ulcers. Good luck!
