"I found this to be very good. I was put on omeprazole first, but that caused really bad IBS, so my doctor changed to this one, and no problems so far. I am due to come off them, so will update with my progress then."

"It stopped the stomach pains just fine, but it caused extreme depression and hopelessness. After about 14 days, I left it off and started seeking something better, as the emotional issues it created were exhausting."

Ranitidine "This drug probably won't work on its own. I was taking 2 of these a day because the ER doctor prescribed it. It seemed to be working because it relieved the pain. But my poop still looked weird. When more blood came, I added the prescription dose of Prilosec [40 mg/day], and my poop was brown again. (I also added probiotics.)"

"I used ranitidine since 2000, and the acid stomach burns continued. I started using Equaline ranitidine tablets USP 150 around May 1, 2013, and I don't have the acid stomach burn anymore. I don't even have to use Equaline every day like I did the other ranitidine. Surprisingly, I think that Equaline may cure my stomach acid burns for good."
