Side effects with omeprazole/Prilosec use

@carnet The same thought crossed my mind. Did your doctor suggest you take aspirin for a heart problem? If so, I would try taking it with food as aspirin can be harsh in the stomach, even in small doses (having said that, how did babies tolerate it? Granted they didn’t take it daily but … just wondering …) and see if your stomach feels better.

Hi I don’t take baby aspirin for any heart problems GP wanted me to take it after a test they did on all of her patients on the legs said it was atherosclerosis of artery’s of lower extremities.I take all vitamins with food and have head higher at night.But since I am on new Med I think the burning is getting worse not better,

Hi with the omeprazole @ 20mg I was doing ok but kept getting heartburn my GP said take more tums I said this was going on too long and I wanted to see GI doctor she said a lot of inflammation so then pantoprazole the first 3 or 4 days after scope on it I felt no burn but then it started back sometimes that’s when after 2 weeks she said go to 2 times a day but now I am waking in the middle of the night with the burn and feeling it more during the day didn’t know if this is just getting used to new drug.I do take all vitamins with food and raise my head at night.Can some of these heart burn meds make things worse?

I would get a second opinion from a GI who specializes in GERD. I am confused from your message. Are you seeing a GI now? Have you had an endoscopy? Are you following any established dietary recommendations for GERD?

Hi yes I went to GI I had a endoscopy and a biopsy because there is inflammation found no cancer,hernia,ulcer.Since last may changed all eating habits follow a gerd diet.Was taking 20mg of omeprozol every morning 30 min before breakfast but no matter what I did I would still get some heartburn my GP just said take extra tums so I said I to her back in Jan I felt I needed to see a GI doctor she said take more meds I insisted I go to GI had a endoscopy and a colonoscopy done .GI put me on pantoprazole for 2 weeks 40mg -I was fine for a few days and then getting some heartburn so she said she wanted me to up it to twice a day for 10 weeks and then she would see how I feel.I am getting more burning and it now is waking me up at night.I will call her just didn’t know if this is something that get worse before it can be better.Thanks

Hi
I have Gastritis & I have a burning feeling in my stomach. Does drinking water make your stomach burn more?. Mine does & they don't why.
I have been dealing with this for years so I hardly drink water which is causing my kidney GFR to go down. No dr. can understand why the water burs me worse than a coke. I understand what your going through.

I have the same problem when drinking water, I have started drinking alkaline water which works out better for me - SmartWater has a version with a 9+ pH

Hi this is a longshot but i get pain when i drink water during night...saw this on web site; earthandhuman.org coy and paste, not sure if anything of interest

How to Relieve Stomach Pain Caused by Drinking Water?
Generally, we combat a burning sensation with water. But what can we do when water itself seems to be a problem? Here are a couple of things that you can try:

Try to drink warm water as it is easier to absorb.
Consult a doctor if any of the medical reasons ring true.
Adopt a healthier diet as overly processed or spiced foods can also irritate your stomach lining.
Test your water supply annually to check for any contamination.
Check your water pipes and make sure they are well-maintained without any leakage.

In Summary,
Our bodies function due to many delicately balanced systems. An impact on any one of the factors could cause us to feel pain. Similarly, there are a variety of reasons that your stomach pain could be induced by drinking water.

It could be medical, water contamination, or merely indigestion due to common everyday situations. The good news is that these can be easily tackled, so you don’t have to worry.

While we read about the problem of stomach hurt after drinking water, there are also some other common issues like dry mouth after drinking water. We have covered this issue in our next article on why does my mouth feel dry after drinking water.

Try drinking unsweetened almond milk which is also alkaline. It's dairy free and healthy for you at only 1 carb per cup.
