I have been on cit 20 mg since jan and for the past few weeks been having bad stomach pain lower down and also bad wind sorry to be direct but carnt see my doctor until next week as anyone else suffered with this while been on them it may not be them that’s coursing it but I have never suffered with stomach problems before x
I have read that Cit also contains lactose. Have you ever had any sensitivity to milk/dairy?
I am mildly lactose intolerant, and get the same side effects every afternoon. Bloating, gas, discomfort. Same happens when I drink regular milk.
Anyway, I hope that may have helped.
Best wishes.
No not sensitive to any diary that I am aware of just seems like it has just come on over the past few weeks spoken to my pharmacist and she told me to try Mebeverine so giving that ago until I see the doctor thanks for the reply x
Since you've been on them since January and the stomach issues started recently, I think it's unlikely to be caused from the Citalopram.
Maybe it's due to a change in your diet?
Hi Maria Cita always affects my stomach and its never gone away its one of the few side effects that I have accepted. Peppermint tea, lacto free milk and watching what I eat helps.
Hi Kelly that’s what am thinking it’s so irritating will get some peppermint tea to see if that helps going to doctors next week xx
Well it’s only really started this past 2 weeks so not sure if it’s down to the cit I will see what the doctor says I do drink plenty of water but will try the peppermint tea thanks for the reply x
Just re-read you first post, does seem strange that its suddenly come on. Good luck with this.
