Acid stomach

[sshawk69 17]

4 months old have acid stomach everyday on medication three times a day. I also do tums nothing helps. Doctor is sending me to a specialist but wonder if anyone else has this issue. I have a hard time eating and drinking get lots of gas burping.

I just started having the same thing! I'm at 3.5 months...

What medication does your doctor have you on? I am just curious, because I was taking Zantac and it wasn't working... switched to generic Prilosec (Omeprazole) 2x daily and it worked perfectly for me. I only take it once daily now.

I take 20mg of Prilosec once a day with the occasional Zantac to help with breakthrough heartburn.

Pantoprazole 40mg twice a day plus ranitidine 150mg twice a day! Plus I eat tums thru out the day.

Pantoprazole 40mg twice a day plus ranitidine 150mg twice a day! Plus I eat tums thru out the day.

Wow. When I went to twice a day with the Omeprazole it totally eliminated that rumbly burpy hunger feeling. By month 6 I dropped to taking it once a day. Hopefully your stomach will adjust to making less acid.

I hope you find something that works... it seems a wise move to see a specialist at this point!

I'm taking same amount as you and some days it works some days it doesn't. Let me know what the dr says.

I was taking Omeprazole prior to surgery because of other gastro-intestinal issues. Now that I am two years out, I still keep some (40 mg) on hand, but only take it as needed. Sometimes during the night I will wake up with a little reflux because Miss Tummy is empty. Omeprazole is adequate for my situation.
