I am grateful to medicines, especially PPI, so there is no hating coming from me, however, I do beleive the body can and will remember it's orginial function if given the right directions.Īntibioctics, I have taken so many over my life time which is partly what has me in this situation, not to mention, I have been coughing off and on chroincally for the past 18 years, but not as much now. Thus, that why PPI are among the top sellng prescription. I don't, we don't like discomfort and will do Anything to get relief. Maybe the cause can be eliminated? What you think? Does that mean will always be open and can't be healed? Something triggered it to be open. Maybe I do have a valve that opens, or did open at one time. There has to be a way out and a healthy way of treating heartburn which has been renamed acid reflux and given the disease status. So we had a few bouts of heartburn that we did not know how to treat in a healthy manner that got us, me, here in the situation of PPI, right? How does one fool the body to product it's orginal amount of HCL before Omeprazole? Is the question. 70 something %, not sure of the exact number, were cured. It was sited that to get the acid relux under controll took large does for some. The researchers started giving them a small dosage and worked upward. I did read a study where giving patients HCL cured the acid reflux. I am wondering if when stopping Omeprazole, which I will attempt next week, if replacing the HCL with meals counter act how much HCL the body produces on it on? It was when my mother was about 45 she began having this what she called gas. What I have read is that low HCL is what caused the reflux in the beginning. Wished I had never ever started this cylce of PPI, but I cant live life backward. She knew when to take tums to keep it under control. She never complained of heartburn or showed ant signs. When she died tums where under her walker. As she got older the heartburn was better. I am thinking back at my mother who always had heartburn, lived to be 79 years old treating her heartburn with tum. As it stands now, 6 hours since my last omeprazole will be at 9am, so that puts me on a 9am and 9pm schedule for my Guess it will behoove me to try to ween off of omeprazole after antibiotic treatment ends on Sunday. I am alive and can live at my current capacity of lung involvement and be happy, so that's not an issue, even though I am somewhat compremised, I also know how important the HCL for the nutrients to be absorbed. I also have lung invlovement probably secondary from this prolonged acid exposure.When the acid gets begins to come up I can tell before I cough and bring up phelgm due to the promixisty of the organs. It helped a little around 1030pm, but at 3am when it woke me up, I grabbed the Omeprazole 20mg and took one.I truly desire to breath easliy and the acid does accumulate in my chest oppose to the throat like most of you describe, however I can see looking at myself where my throat on the right side is sunken in probably from having reflux for 20 years, coughing, and didn't know it. So as I am sleeping tonight I feel the acid coming up my throat. Givine thanks 2 days are done and only 3 to go. I tell you, what a mess right now and until Saturday evenin when this ends. I attempted to take Rantidine 150mg once a day since stopping Omeprazole, but when? I am having to write down when to eat, take Cipro and all my healthly stuff to do. Cipro gives directions to take antacids 6 hours before or 2 hours after taking it. I was placed on Cipro 250mg twice a day for 5 days which will end on Saturday evening. I took my last 20mg of omeprazole on Saturday morning and today Wednesday my symptoms returned.Ĭoming off may have worked, however, I went to the doctor on Monday for urinary incontinience and was diagnosis with a urinary tract infection then placed on 5 days of antibiotics. After 11 days my symptoms were improved so I thought I could come off of them and do healthy suggestions for healing my reflux which I didn't do before. I took PPI ( omeprazole ) again, this time, for 11 days after being off for a few months. It seems when the body begins producing acid after stopping them it over shoots. I have been off and on PPI for 2 years never realizing they had a rebound effect.
