TOO DIFFICULT TO REMEMBER TO TAKE THIS HORSE PILL! RANITIDINE IS USED WITH THIS MED.

I take this because I have gotten Barrett's Esophagus from to much acid coming up into my esophagus. I get the side effect that I have not seen anyone else mention. When I take this medication after I have taken it, it make me feel like my acid reflux and GERD is worse than before I take it. This usually lasts about for 3 or so hours. I only been taking this since February 9th of 2024. Think I need to go back to the doctor and tell him the side effect it is causing. Does anyone else have the side effect that taking Sucralfate seems to make their acid reflux and GERD worse or feel like it is worse?Read More Read Less

I've had GERD, IBS, lesions in my esophagus.. my drs have never tried really hard to help me other than 40mg daily of prilosec, which doesn't work. I just started this yesterday. I am MIND BLOWN. I havent been without pain in my stomach for at least 4 years. I stayed awake til 1am because I was so excited to take my second dose before going to sleep. It literally made me cry to not have the pain. I had the first full night of sleep. Through the day, it doesnt take all the pain away, my stomach still has a dull ache. I will see the GI in a few weeks. I'm really hopeful that this will bring better news than expected. I've lost 60 pounds and can hardly eat because everything hurts. Today, I've eaten 2 meals in one and the thought of being able to enjoy my food makes me wanna eat my kitchen out of stock ??Read More Read Less

Between the nausea and gas, this pill is a tough one to swallow. (Pardon the pun) I’ve been on it for less than a month and find that it’s very difficult to find the right time to take it based on all the rules about eating/not eating. I take one pill early in the morning before I get up for the day. That often means 3 am. As an educator, it’s very difficult to coordinate another dose and quite frankly, with the way it makes me feel, I don’t want to! I’m not a fan. I’m taking it for laryngopharyngeal reflux and it’s really not working. Read More Read Less

Works great only cons stomach aches and pains on and off throughout the day and night and first four days struggle to go #2 either nothing comes out or I have to force myself to go and I hate forcing since it's bad for you I stopped my strict Ulcer and Acid reflux diet went back to all the junk and sodas and things I shouldn't be eating in hopes it will flush out my system and nothing so doesn't matter if I go back to my old diet or stick to my strict diet nothing passes my stool but then again I have only been taking this since Monday night 4x a day. With acid reflux medication and vomiting and nausea medicine cause I been sick on off for a few years and puking blood sometimes and I feel sick all the time so doc prescribed me that so I'm not puking or keep me from puking.Read More Read Less

This medication was prescribed for me because I have stomach ulcers, the medication works great for stomach ulcers. The problem with it was the side effect, it completely stopped bowel movements for me, and I don't care what I ate, I literally could not get a bowel movement while taking this. One thing that always gave me bowel movements was cereal and milk, milk gives me diarrhea because I'm lactose intolerant. I ate a whole box of raisin bran and used 2 gallons of milk with it, and I had a lot of gas, but still no bowel movement. I finally gave up, and discontinued the medication. How in the world am I supposed to take a medication for 8 weeks and never poop? Read More Read Less

I have been suffering from gastritis and reflux on and off for years. It is due to me drinking alcohol. I went from heartburn to severe stomach pain, bloat and sore throat. I couldn't even drink water. I went to the ER and they gave me this. It's amazing, allowing me to eat and drink water. I am eating very little and have lost 10lbs since this all started. I have a GI appt in 3 days for an endoscopy. The pill is difficult to take. I dissolve in water and had to build an eating schedule around it. I take it 3 times a day. No bad side effects so far. Just a bit fatigued. I am sure it is from not eating. No nausea. I am super careful about what I eat. I have only been taking it a week and is helping me make it to my appt. Read More Read Less

This is as close to a miracle drug as I've ever come. It is absolutely amazing. Only drawback is that it will start dissolving in mouth and almost choke me if I'm not careful. I now just let it dissolve and chew on up. It's not bad tasting and I've grown fond of the taste. Takes like a mixture of corn starch, chalk, and possibly dirt. Hope I'm not anemic.

I’m 28. Im fairly healthy, but battle with GERD. I got prescribed the liquid version of this medication last night after being in the ER with immense stomach pain. Taking this definitely took the edge off, as I’m not in excruciating pain. However, I do feel low energy, nauseas, and dizzy from it. I feel… off… after using it is the only problem. But it helps with the pain.

Forget about dissolving pull in little cup of water. Try this. Place pill on tongue and take a swig of water. As pill begins to dissolve, just use tongue and rub against roof of mouth gently. In 5 to 8 seconds, presto! It’s completely dissolved and ready to swallow and chase with more water. Can easily be done anywhere!

I was about to take this medication till I read about these side effects that are not listed under general side effects, I found this on Wikipedia “ Common side effects include constipation.[2] Serious side effects may include bezoar formation and encephalopathy.[5] ” toooo scary!

Prescribed this for GERD after no help from PPIs. To all those suffering to get a large pill down, this medication comes in a liquid. Ask at your pharmacy.

I just started this medication today because my acid reflux has been horrible for several weeks. I'm waiting to be seen by a specialist and get more testing done, so I don't know if I actually have ulcers or gastritis. But my esophagus feels so soothed already after only 2 doses! I feel like I can eat and drink so much better already! This is so welcomed after weeks of being in agony. My stomach is still burning somewhat, but overall I'm very relieved.

Found out I had a stomach ulcer after drinking alcohol and waking up in excruciating pain. I was prescribed this for the ulcer however I ordered it through mail due to the pain I was having and continued to get worse and weaker (due to not eating) while waiting. I was not eating more than about two or three spoonfuls of food a day and lost 10lbs. After it arrived I took my first dose which initially made me a little nauseous but it wore off after an hour or so. Then, I was able to finish an entire container of yogurt without any pain. This was the best medicine for the ulcer. Read More Read Less

Trying to eat around taking this medication is horrible. I don't want to eat anything. I'm nauseous all the time. Nothing appeals to me. I'm still miserable.

I’ve been in stomach pain for two days now. I have gastritis. I was prescribed this by my primary care manager. Every time I take this I feel like crap. (Excuse my language) I want to know why this won’t work. I’m hydrating as much as I can. And I’m eating just yogurt. But can barely tolerating it. I got this sickness from drinking too much alcohol.
