Ranitidine Alternatives Compared

For GERD: zantac worked somewhat with my chronic reflux, but what really worked was the 30 lb weight loss and the omision of pop. also, i decreased my coffeee intake by half and I have one tbl of baking soda in a glass of water every morning to raise the ph in my stomach. its not good to rely on acid reducers and proton pump inhibitors as over time you become deficient in many vitamins. they stop an enzyme in your stomach needed to absorb b12 from food as an example, and over time you will become enemic. this happened to me afters years of taking protonix and not knowing why I was tired all the time. Finally I had a naturopathic dr have blood work done and found this out. took 6 weeks of b12 injections to get back to normal, and lost 30lbs

For GERD: As I've just recently started taking Ranitidine HCL 150 mg tablets it is my desire to see it help to prevent all these heartburn attacks as I call them. I've been having several attacks feeling as if I'm having a heart attack several times a week. As of late it has got so much worse, and I'm not exactly sure why. I usually don't know stomach acid is being sent from my stomach upperward, due to my also having a hyial hernia. Where the hyial hernia is located is always where the pain starts and remains the worst. "The pain that is becoming much worse with each and every attack. Again as I've already stated It's my hope that with the use of Ranitidine HCL and Pantropazole that both these medications taken will stop this.

For GERD: I had a bad bout of reflux and the doctor prescribed 40 mg daily. I felt relief but about 2 weeks later I had blood in my urine. I went to the doctor right away because I was freaked out. I told them that I red blood in urine was a side effect but I had to do an ultrasound to check my kidneys and bladder as well as doing urinalysis. Thankfully all tests came back ok and the doctor told me to stop the omeprazole. No more blood! I also has increased anxiety and thought it was just nervousness because I was sick. Now after reading these posts I think it was the drug.

For GERD: Have been taking the prescription of this drug for a week now after having been on rabeprazole 20mg for 4wks with no relief. and for the most part the omeprazole has taken away that stuck in your throat feeling. The downside is that the nausea feeling is terrible and I get stomach pain something that I didn’t have with the previous PPI. Anyone else having bad nausea?

For GERD: Taking pantoprazole twice daily 40 mg having chest pains stomach pain and shortness of breath

For GERD: I was put on Pantoprazole about three years ago after having trouble swallowing food. I went to see my kidney doctor today, he told me he found out that taking it was bad on my kidney and not take it any longer, so I threw them in the trash
