I've had the Nissan surgery and a year later I'm back on meds. My regret with the surgery is that I can't throw up now. If I get sick, all I do is dry heave. That's worse than throwing up. And that my GERD is worse now than before surgery. I've heard that it's worked well for some. Didn't for me

My experience with h-pylori causes bad breath in addition to your other symptoms. You may want to follow up with your gastroenterologist and be tested for h-pylori.
please get investigation done using endoscopy to rule out h.pylori infection
Thanks Crystal. I will add the Carafate to my prilosec and rotate PPIs. ♡
Have you tested for H Pylori bacteria? because the drugs you are using are not fully indicated for H Pylori eradication. l recommend that you test first and when +ve, use ESCLAM KIT iii BD X 2/52 then take esomeprazole 40mgs OD X 3/52
Compound pharmacists have a protocol to wean off PPI. Zypan by standard process and DGL by Otho molecular products is the one mine uses but there are other brands. It is possible to reduce and eliminate. These drugs lifelong can cause serious medical conditions.
I was the same but changed to a tablet called nexium (do not let the go give you the generic one for it - use nexium)
You can buy it yourself it is very effective

I have been taking 20 mg of Prilosec in the morning, and 150 mg of Zantac at night, which seems to work well.
Hi, there was a time when I had intense itching all over. The Dr. found that I had the mammal meat allergy, caused by tick bites. You find it via a blood test.
Hopefully will help ease your concern by hearing from several of us that have been on this same cocktail for many years. While the combination has become a little less effective over the past 5 to 7 years that I have been prescribed the combo it is still the most effective stomach med for me. My doctors routinely order several blood tests (every 3 months or so ) & have found no indication of damage that way. I'm also scoped on a regular basis again no issues related to combo found. I am on the combination for GERD, bleeding ulcers, esphogageal spasms & gastropresis. As one of the other posts said I too hope you are being closely monitored by a qualified physician. Although not ideal if you need to be on these medications for rest of your life I would suspect u to be better off than not. Good luck to you.
Anyone dealing with gastropresis? Where you able to have the "stomach pacemaker " implanted? Did it help?

Any side effects using ranitidine and omeprazole together please . Thankyou .
Sounds like you may have Helicobacter pylori - you should ask your doctor for a urea breath test or have a CLO test at the time of gastroscopy, and if positive be treated for the H.pylori infection which should decrease many of your symptoms if that is indeed what you have.
Hi you sound just like me I've had stomach acid pain for 4yrs now, it flares up every so often the pain at the minute is unreal. I'm on esomeprazole 40mg in morning & night. I've bought ranitidine 75mg, pharmacy said I shouldn't take them but I've had too as pain unreal. Has anyone else taking these together, or know how many I can take?
Hi I'm taking this dose daily too...how long did it take for you to get better?
Thanks
Thanks
