antacids stopped working

[Roger11]

Hey guys, ive been on somac(pantoprazole) since about april or so now, on 1 pill per day taken first thing in the morning and it would cure my acidic reflux, which constantly felt liek my throat was clogged/shit stuck in my throat etc. Now over the last week or so taking one has not ridden it 100% like it used to.

Ive tried taking 2/3 per day and sometimes then it may do something.


Do i need to try a different antacid? Lansoprazole or nexium?

Thoughts? Thanks.

what does your diet look like?

[RaginCajun]

have you been checked for an esophageal hernia?

[Roger11]

have you been checked for an esophageal hernia?

not on a diet atm mate.


yes. i went to an ENT specalist whom originally prescribed the antacids for me and check with an endoscope and saw only signs of acidic reflux. No hernias/cancers or anything mate.

[Roger11]

it is deffs acidic reflux because i know the feeling and over the past few months this does tend to happen once every few days, i might need to take 2-3 over a few days to settle it down. Im just thinking perhaps i need to try another antacid.

[RaginCajun]

not on a diet could be your problem. what are you eating? you have to eating foods that are dumping gastric juices into your stomach?

[RaginCajun]

do you smoke? drink alcohol? coffee?

[Roger11]

nope do not touch alcohol. You wont even find me walk near a liquer shop hahaha, just not my thing.

Nope dont smoke, never have, never will.

Nope dont drink coffee as i hate the taste.


Eating whatever really mate, whatever i feel like when im hungry, snacking here and there etc. Just taking it easy atm.

I would say nothing has really changed tho because even when i started taking the antacids i wasnt really on a diet.

Perhaps ill start cardio again, that may help rid some toxins or something. IDK.

*tea spoon* fvcking phone won't let me edit my last post

[Roger11]

oh ok, thanks mate. I will try that.

Do you get is also HAZARD?
Acdix reflux?






who here is on antacid tablets like myself?

[lovbyts]

I was saying a tablespoon or less of baking soda with some water or juice works good also. I use it for acid reflux.

Ill let muscleink know you are looking for him.

[Roger11]

thank you. hope he is well.


i assume he is just busy with work like most of us this time of year?

[lovbyts]

thank you. hope he is well.

Yup very busy traveling for work and play.

Give the baking soda a try, it works quickly. I also use generic OTC acid reducer once in a while. The chew type do nothing for me.

Roger I have Barretts Esophagus and use prilosec daily and so far it works great. Another little trick in addition to what the guys mentioned would be to elevate the head of your bed about 4 inches or so. Apparently it helps keep acids out of the damaged area thus causing less issues.

Yeah well you have great traction with all those veins. Most of us would slide right off the bed.

Thats just wrong...
I say just slap some Velcro to the back of your head or get an afro.

I heard that DSM and Shol'va have a cure for acid reflux. I have my own home grown remedy though that I think is a step above theirs. My HOW never complains about acid reflux anymore.

thanks mate

would you say Omeprazole is better than pantoprazole that im using now?

ill try and get a script for that today .

[Roger11]

austinite. You are good with this stuff mate.

What do you suggest?


you suggest i change from somac to omeprazole?

[Roger11]

ok so after doing a bit of online reading, a fair amount of people say after a while PPIS stop working and you need to get on another one, some even recommend cycling them in and out as some find you build a tolerance. So im still trying to get a script for omenprazole as pantoprazole isnt doing to much for me anymore.


iVE GOT a question tho.

Does high/highish bodyfat and water retention play much of a role when it comes to acidic reflux ? Thanks.

[Roger11]

i was thinking of starting a mini cut tomorrow to rid some water/bodyfat. May use it for a prime to before my next cycle so yeh.
