How long PPI takes to ease the pain?
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi,
This is my story if anyone wants to read https://patient.info/forums/discuss/severe-upper-abdominal-pain-gastritis-pancreatitis-hernia-or-ulcer--634677
How long it usually takes PPI to work? I have been suffering from severe upper stomach pain that is unbearable, its like getting punched in your stomach. This pain was caused by 7 days antibiotics tripple therapy that is usually prescribed for hpylori.
I am taking omperazole 20mg its my 3rd day and I am feeling nothing. My pain is severe I accept but want to know usually how many days omperazole takes to work. By that I mean after how many days the person start feeling at least some affect? My symptoms are severe upper stomach pain with nausea and lack of appetite, no burning.

What other possibility is there of such painful and sore stomach feeling after antibiotics. The antibiotics reaction if you may call it hasnt subsided in 3 months. Pain is unbearable.

Hi HumanBeing
Your stomach will be very sore after the 3 course AB's for HPylori. You have to be careful what you eat no acidic or fatty fried foods or spicey foods and fizzy drinks...also AB's can leave intestinal candida which will cause pain..take probiotics to put good bacteria back into your gut to replace the bacteria that was destroyed by the AB's and eat prebiotic foods....

Candida can cause a lot of pain maybe not quite as you describe. Have you had an ultrasound scan to see what is going on in your abdomen. If not request one fromyour doc. Also, there is a special urine test for candida(google it)...and ask doc to do a urine test to check for candida...

Hi HumanBeing
Excuse my ignorance what are LFT's?
I think the next step is checking for yeast overgrowth and candida (SIBO google it) ..is carried out via stool test and specific urine test....

Milk will calm your stomach because it is alkaline and will help to reduce acid and pain. My grandad, who was a GP, cured his ulcer with milk. My acid is immediately helped by it; it doesn’t simply mask symptoms; it gets rid of them.
Don’t rely solely on online advice because it is very general and doesn’t take account of individual cases. It doesn’t apply to everyone. Everyone is different. The people who say it doesn’t cure inflammation are saying that because it didn’t help them; that doesn't mean that it won’t help anyone.
If you are not lactose intolerant, it won’t do you any harm. You have nothing to lose since you are in so much pain. Don’t be frightened to try something new, it is completely natural and is not harsh like the medications you had to take. You will only know for sure whether it helps or not by trying it. A study will tell you how others have responded to it, but it won’t tell you how you personally will react to it.

Don't drink dairy not for your digestive system. Try almond milk. Its delisious believe me my stomach issues vanished. Vanilla try it. Makes my stomach. Great

Dairy can be very beneficial to your digestive system. Some people are intolerant to dairy but that doesn't mean that everyone is. If you don't try it, you won't know how it will affect you. Everyone is different. Milk really helps my digestive system and helps my heartburn. I can feel it soothing my stomach as soon as I drink it.
You should not avoid dairy unless you have an intolerance or allergy to it.
