Stomach Ulcer Pain is Gettign unbearable

[gridlock]

I've been on Tagamet for the last 4 years or so to stop the amount of acid building up but it just not working. recently its got a lot worse and i'm finding that when i eat, loads of air is getting trapped in my oesophagus and makes me then throw back up as its not reaching my stomach and making it so uncomfortable. my oesophagus is so sore from the acid coming up that its irritated by food going down.

then on top of that, its like the entrance to my stomach is blocked a while after eating, possibly from inflammation, because when i then drink water, its sat not going down.

Its starting to get me down because i cant enjoy a meal without knowing the pain is going to come.

I've got 3 ulcers last time it was checked and i'm hoping theres no more. has anyone overcome this or got some good painkilling remedies.

That sounds bad mate. Well I would use Omeprazole, this will suppress the acid. Now why have you got these ulcers? Do you have a H.pylori infection, needs checking. If so, 2 g of Amoxyciliin with 1 g of Clarithromycin per day for 7 days. Keep taking PPI for 3 months, should clear up, hope this helps.

cheers bud. It runs in my family apparently. i dont remember much about my dad from when i was young but i can remember that he was in agony from his when it flared up and my mum used to give him painkilling or anti inflammation injections.

Mine are mostly stress related. They flare up when i'm under loads of pressure or feeling like i'm banging my head against a brick wall (which is most days)

worst thing is i've had these fuckers for 4 years now.

I had a ulcer as well bro, worst thing ever.

I would gag about 2-3 hours after I ate and it would come up and burn. The wort part was if I at a heavy fatty fish like Salmon. It was a disaster.

Anyhow, I have said this many times on this board and a few have PM'ed me as well. Get your hands on NEXIUM 80mg per, this is the best thing ever, it not only cured my ulcer but has helped keep numerous heavy foods down without coming up.

I still take it today, juts not every day, I take it when I know I am going to ahve a heavy meal

Trust me on this one, it is the next best thing to Pizza

Omeprazole (Prilosec) is a better stomach acid suppressor.

You also want the doctor to prescribe sucralfate. It is a chalky pill that you take before a meal and it coats the stomach. In that way stomach acid & food don't irritate ulcers or stomach lining during meals.

The herbal Cissus Quadrangularis may help as well if taken over a long period of time.

There is effectively no difference between Nexium and Prilosec (Omeprazole). Almost the same chemical structure produced by the same company that wanted to continue with their lucrative Prolosec drug at a time when the patent was expiring. Omeprazole is the generic of Prilosec OTC.

Seems I have read that a certain strain of bacteria is involved in the formation of peptic ulcers? Which leads to… maybe an antibiotic is also warranted?

IIRC, antibiotics meant for use against H.Pylori are synergystic when used in combination with bizmuth. (as in Pepto-Bizmol)

Google together: Ulcer, Pylori, Bizmuth

I use protonix or prevacid because the meds I take cause stomach acid to come back up and they both work great at keeping the acid down for up to 24 hours. Protonix is soon going to become OTC which is good news.

I would be drinking massive amounts of aloe, doing fresh juice fasts (80% vegetable), and taking digestive enzymes if I were you. I've seen people go off of IBS scripts in a week after drinking 6 oz of aloe 3 times a day (not that IBS is the same thing).
