For Stomach Ulcer "It only worked for a week properly. Although I don’t have heartburn anymore, I feel nauseous, bloated, and gassy constantly. During the second week, I developed pneumonia in one lung and pleurisy in the other. After being on antibiotics for 10 days, the effect of pantoprazole seemed to wear off. Would antibiotics cause this to happen?"

For GERD "After taking omeprazole for several years, it seemed to stop working. I also have Barrett's. I was put on this drug two years ago. I have had daily headaches, shortness of breath, sharp pains in my hips and shoulders, racing heart, itching, bloating, and extreme smelly gas. Now I'm vomiting and nauseated. I put on 20 lbs. I'm done with this drug. I'm going back to over-the-counter Mylanta and Pepcid. I feel stupid that I never put all of these together."

For GERD "I was taking 20-80 mg of pantoprazole a day for GERD. I noticed I was extremely gassy and bloated every day, constantly burping, weird stomach noises, etc. I thought something was wrong with me. So I stopped taking pantoprazole, and the bloating/gas went away for the most part. If you're taking this medication and also bloated and have the burps/farts all day, this medication may be why. I'm going to be trying a different drug for my GERD."
