Hi, I know that we are supposed to avoid ibuprofen if we have gastritis, but can we take standard cold medicines (with decongestants)? My sinus are acting up and I have a family wedding coming up...
I have been prescribed a PPI for gastritis, but I dont' have GERD. For me, I have constant nausea, so the idea is to reduce stomach acid will lessen the nausea. Am sorry that your'e suffering so....
Thanks for the encouraging words. Sounds very promising. Am sorry it's so expensive for you. Wonder if my insurance will cover it...but if it works and makes you feel better, the cost is worth it....
Hi, I was diagnosed back in March with gastritis (not GERD, but releated so am posting here). My main symptom is nausea. I was given tecta for a week, which helped but the nausea soon returned. Thus,...
Thanks mudmagnetmum, Do you still have nausea? I've had it daily for 4 months now, and don't see any end in sight. Yeah, I had an endoscopy and the helicobacter test was negative. My GI just saw a...
I have been given something for the nausea, but it doesn't do much (which is ironic since the prescription says that its to help nausea from chemotherapy so you would expect it to be powerful stuff)....
Hi, My issues started back in March where I had awful nausea that wouldn't go away. I was put on a PPI for a week (tecta), which helped but then the nausea returned along with stomach pains and...
That's part of why I want to stop it. My GI didn't put me on it (said it was ok but didn't suggest it). It was my rheumatologist that gave it to me if I want to try taking my anti-inflammatory again....
Hi, I've been taking a PPI (tecta) for just over 4 weeks now and would like to stop. It has been helping lessen my nausea from gastritis, but I don't want to be on it long term as i've heard warnings...
Hi,. I remember being so scared for this test. I mean, they were putting something down my throat. Everyone assured me it wasn't bad and sure enough, I was sedated and didn't feel a thing...was...
Question. I keep seeing many on here recommend carafate for gastritis. I was in the US recently and when I asked the pharmasict at Target if they had it, they said it was prescription. Is it over the...
Hi, I also have gastritis, with nausea being my primary symptom. The theory is it's from taking celebrex for inflammatory issues, but not sure as my symptoms didn't go away when I stopped the...
Thank you all for the replies. Really appreciate it. skitt, good to know that Carafate is available in Canada. My thing is, my GI only saw inflammation in my stomach...no ulcers or issues in my...
Hi Doggbones, I was in the US for the weekend (I'm in Canada) and took a look for Carafate. Didn't see it so asked the pharmacist and it's apparently prescription only. So doesn't seem like an...
Ok thanks. But with my original question...any idea how long it's ok to be on a PPI without suffering from rebound effects?...
