For Hiatal Hernia "Famotidine / Pepcid made matters much worse concerning my hiatal hernia. The first couple of weeks it seemed to help, after that, it was all downhill. Saw an immediate improvement once I went off it. I am now doing apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons with 3 drops of stevia in a glass of water with a squeeze of lemon. Feel so much better off Pepcid and Omeprazole. I also take 2 teaspoons of aloe vera juice for quick relief when needed. Neither can cause side effects if not overdone."

For GERD "I had been taking Ranitidine (300 mg twice a day), but after that was recalled, I tried Pepcid Complete. It seemed to work for a month or so, taking one in the morning and one in the evening. But then the acid reflux continued to be a problem, so I am here looking at other drug reviews. On the Pepcid website, it states: PEPCID® products are not indicated for the treatment of GERD. I am going to try my luck with Prilosec OTC, based on the reviews that I found on this site."

For GERD "I got so stressed with this Covid stuff, and when very stressed, I succumb to overeating, eating and spitting. It went on for a week, and oh my gosh, after a week, the heartburn was crippling. One Pepcid pill quieted things down. It's been 1 hour, and all is still in there, thank goodness."

"I was put on Pepcid for mast cell activation syndrome, and it caused low mood, constipation, and heartburn, which I did not have before taking. I need the H2 for histamine blockage, Pepcid is not the one to help me."

For GERD "I took Pepcid and Pepcid AC for years, but like all gas pills, one pill could make my stools solid 'constipation,' like for a couple of days."

For Urticaria "Combined with prednisone 20 mg twice daily, and Zyrtec, also with an Epsom salt bath with lye soap, it really does work, and quickly."
