OMEPRAZOLE vs PANTOPRAZOLE

I’ve had GERD since I was in my teens, but when omeprazole became available, I thought it was behind me. No more chewing handfuls of Tums; no more heartburn. Then, about six months ago, I started having difficulty swallowing. I told my doctor about it, and she got me an appointment with a gastroente

If you take omeprazole, Nexium, pantoprazole, or any PPI long-term, there are 5 nutrients being depleted. Most people who supplement don't realize the FORM of the supplement matters even more when you're on a PPI — because your stomach acid is suppressed. Here's what the research shows: \*\*1. Magne

Most people don’t come back to talk about how they treated GERD once they heal, so here’s my experience,hope it helps someone similar. (**P.S**.: Every case is different. Listen to your body and try what works for **YOU**!) I suffered from GERD for 3 years with extreme daily burns. It started way

I have spent the past few days on vacation in Mexico (Cancun) at an all-inclusive resort. I knew going in that I was gonna be pretty gluttonous because access to multiple restaurants 24/7 is fun. I also knew this would lead to some pretty intense heartburn, so I packed extra Omeprazole, Tums, and Al

For the sake of your health, get an endoscopy done. Here is the story of my journey; please read the TLDR if you don’t have patience. (List of symptoms at the bottom.) I’m a 26-year-old male, moderately athletic. I’ve struggled with health anxiety (mainly concerning my heart) for the past two years

I’ve been in this sub for a long time. I (45M) have suffered with GERD for 15 years. I’ve been on Omeprazole 10MG - 20MG for 15 years. I was finally tired of having to take a pill to live and wanted to try and fix this. Important to note that I worked with my GI doctor as I went through this process

TL/DR: after months of constant evaluation I was started on Enteragam and have had amazing results Earlier this year I posted a number of times hopelessly on here feeling extremely depressed at the severity of my bowel issues. I had chronic diarrhea on average 20+ times a day. Most mornings I spent

Hi everyone, I'm making this post to share my journey over the years with this disease we all know and hate: GERD. I'll share everything, but I’ll try to keep it as short as possible. It all started back in 2020, just a few days before the COVID lockdown. I went to one of my best friend's birthday

Update: I’ve been eating some of my trigger foods (caffeine, chocolate, and garlic) just to see what would happen. I normally couldn’t even have these with my 2x/day pantoprazole without being curled up in a ball, but aside from some VERY mild pain under my ribs, I feel amazing! Update #2: I’ve been

Hi i am 25f. Heres my story. When I was 19, my weight was 54, the heaviest ive been in my life. As years go by i started to lose weight more and more up until this year I was 41 kg. I keep losing weight throughout the years because i simply couldnt eat. I also had lots of abdominal pain episodes th

Suffered from bouts of GERD ever since I was a teenager. I had to take pantoprazole 40mg for about three years and was on the waiting list for a sphincter surgery. By chance I started to drink mallow tea (it has to be this mallow: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malva\_sylvestris) and my reflux has si

Guys, I've been suffering from constant belching since early 2018, then after I went out drinking with friends on the 24th of december 2019 I woke up with a pretty bad throat pain (LPR). I thought I caught a cold but the pain never went away... 6 months after as if the constant throat pain wasn't en

I so wish that it was more widely known that GERD really can be a chronic condition. So many sufferers just have to live with their symptoms day in and day out, with little to no relief. I go through stages of being okay as long as I take my 40mg pantoprazole daily, and then one small trigger (or st

Last year was really tough for me as I was hospitalized twice because of GERD. I couldn't sleep because of the pain and flare-ups, I cried almost everyday and felt very desperate. I was prescribed Pantoprazole and Carafate, took both for 8 months. I lost weight very fast because I could barely eat,

Fuck this disease. I've been panicking for a while thinking I'm gonna die from a heart atrack, I swear it felt so reall! Told my doc about it, and he switched Omeprazole with Pantoprazole and it went away. Made this post just in case someone gets the same symptoms and can't tell why.

Good morning, I wanted to take the time to kinda go through my struggle with GERD, Gastritis, and other gastro esophageal issues and how I've paved the path to improvement and the ceasing of my symptoms It all started at the end of October 2023. I was 27 yeara old. I had, for many years, maintained
