Is anyone experiencing increased GERDS/Acid Reflux?

Posted by rhondat23 @rhondat23, Sep 14, 2023

For many years I have been on generic Prilosec and after trying Fosamax I had to start taking Famotidine as well for severe Acid Reflux. I have had both upper/lower scope and everything checks out fine. I started Evenity in June and now I am experiencing severe acid reflux even while taking Prilosec and Famotidine. Has anyone else experienced an increase in acid reflux while taking Evenity?

Next week I have an appointment with a Nutritionist and am hoping they can help.

I know both of these acid reflux medications can contribute to osteoporosis. However, I have tried stopping but my acid reflux is too bad. I have tried ginger tea, not eating (chocolate, onions, garlic and tomatoes) but none of this seems to help. Prior to starting Evenity I had my acid reflux well controlled. I don't believe acid reflux is a listed side effect, so I am reaching out to see if anyone in our support group is experiencing the same issue and has figured out a way to alleviate the discomfort. Thanks for your support!!!

I'm on tymlos for about 8 months and have been diagnosed with "silent reflux" . The symptoms are as you described: post-nasal drip, pgelm, constant throat-clearing, light cough. Few actual symptoms of what i thought of as acid reflux! but the Dr suggested cutting back on acidic foods (my biggie was cold seltzer) and Prilosec and Flonase.

@maradeur I am on tymlos too, and am experiencing exactly what you are and have been for months. As well as the acid reflux discomfort. Be so glad to finish this drug!

Around 5th shot my acid reflux returned along with weight gain and blood pressure increase. Had to increase blood pressure meds and start taking meds for acid reflux. My doctor doesn’t think Evenity was the cause but after being on this blog I would disagree. One more shot to go and hope things return to normality.
