"Started taking this sucralfate in addition to 40 mg Nexium twice a day. The sucralfate drug lessened the burning sensation but resulted in such extreme feelings of fullness, a distended abdomen, and intermittent cramping that I couldn't even work my way up to the prescribed four times a day. Couldn't get through more than a few days. The resulting discomfort and cramping was unbearable."

"Sucralfate works okay. I'm not sure if I want to continue taking this with my gastroparesis. This medication causes constipation. Gastroparesis slows down digestion, having this medication just sitting around in my stomach makes me fear getting a bezoar. I also think it slows down my digestion even more. Erythromycin worked best for my illness compared to this medication. Unfortunately, you cannot be on antibiotics for too long, or else it affects its effect. Overall, I'm somewhat satisfied with this. If you have trouble swallowing, just dissolve it in some water and drink it that way. I used a pill crusher, then I mixed it into some water. It's really disgusting and chalky, but not too bad."

Sucralfate "You are not supposed to swallow the pill, you dissolve it in water. I can't believe all the people trying to swallow this pill. This is dangerous."

"The lady said to dissolve it. I made it a little thick, about 1/2 to 1 oz., so the consistency of Maalox. It actually will coat the esophagus, yeah."
