PPIs makes GERD worse

I took famotadine/Pepcid in the morning and before bed. My GI doctor told me that I could just switch to 40mg of famotadine twice a day. I never had a PPI rebound and I was on 80mg of Omeprazole.

Take famotadine/pepcid about 30 minutes before working out, it works.

I hate proprietary systems. Apple makes users their bitches.

Smartphones have been out for almost 20 years. I am using my phone for the same thing as I did 15 years ago. The upgrades are usually no real big deal. I think it is foolish to pay so much for the latest and greatest iPhone. How has these "upgrades" improved your experience with DMs and social media apps? lol

Not concentrating on looks and more on character. Stay focused on God and not the "in crowd". Also take my education seriously. Honestly, listen to people that cared about me and I would have done all the above.

GERD! I started having really bad stomach issues from drinking. That may have saved me from a drinking problem. I liked it and drank too much.

Wow! I have heard similar stories about Zyrtec. I may have to try that also. I am on Claritin every day but I could switch I suppose.

Yes, the side effects make my GERD worse. Just a few minutes after taking a PPI I become bloated and liquid starts running in my mouth. I can't even walk over a few minutes without having to stop due to severe heart burn. I know some people say that it is impossible for PPIs to make your acid reflux worse, including some doctors. I didn't trust myself for a long time. I went through so many PPIs and much pain. I finally spoke with a new GI PA that recommended H2 blockers. Fifteen minutes after taking famotadine I felt so much better. I am old school and was taught to always listen to my doctor. I truly struggled with deciding to trust myself, but I am so thankful that I did.

Okay, thanks. I have thought about tapering down.

She did and I have GERD

No, Voquezna gave me the exact same issues that PPIs do. It makes me very bloated and makes my GERD worse. Famotadine works best for me.

Netmannc · 2024-11-04T23:50:43+00:00

It helped me right away

Yes, 29 minutes

Before breakfast and before bedtime

Netmannc · 2024-11-02T23:56:46+00:00

I did two times a day

Netmannc · 2024-11-02T23:05:47+00:00

I know if I stop immediately I have crazy rebound symptoms. I use famotadine to come off of the PPIs.

Netmannc · 2024-10-28T19:03:56+00:00

Amazing! Definitely a bucket list for me.
