Since taking lansoprazole I,ve had a lot of wind if I take gaviscon it seems to make it worse it gets very uncomfortable does anybody else suffer this I try to be very careful what I eat and I didn't have this before I started the tablets any suggestions will be gratefully received
I'm sorry have you talked with your gastroenterologist? I take pantoprozole and I haven't had many issues with it.
It's annoying isn't it. I too get wind and it is usually following meals. I take Pantoprazole and get no side effects, I think the excess wind may be due to my Hiatus Hernia or even my IBS.
Hi Joyce,
Unfortunately yes this is a sympton I suffer from also, and have a Hiatus Hernia too. Ireally dont know what the connection is, but definitely after meals, and sometimes suffer terribly with trapped wind. I find if i keep standing and walking for at least 1/2hr after eating meals it helps.
i was told i had barrets about 2 yrs ago i take pills 3 times a day i find most times it works ok but if i eat the wrong thing i am dubbled up in pain till i pass it side afect with pill is it gives e a lot of wind my other halp gets a bit upset with me at times as it comes out any time i also have an hernia most of the time its ok but latly when i go to bed its very uncomtable and i seem to breath very fast it feels like its presing on my chest i have an hospital apointment in may so will see what they say about it
I started getting burning pain in my stomach when I eat. GI people have now out me on Dexilant which is Dexlansoprazole. I have had fluttering in my colon now for about a week. I have had a colonoscopy yet but have one scheduled in April. I'm not ooking forward to it.
i have been taking Lanzoprazole 30mg for a week now and im also suffering from trapped wind. its very uncomfortable going around my ribs ans into my back !
Gaviscon seems to make it worse before it them makes it better will this symptom stay the whole time im taking the drug or does it wear off in a couple of weeks ?
