hi people, can anyone help? i am in pain, i have ibs, gastritis and am coeliac too. i persistently burn acid but it reaches a point where whatever i do it just doesn't stop. i sm taking gaviscon as i'm so allergic to other medication it's the only that helps. how much of this can i take a day? i take both the liquid and the melltlets, if i am out and about. the problem i have is if the gastritis flares up how long does it take to settle for you? i mean roughly, of course everyone is different! any support useful thanks!

you can take gaviscon 4x a day. you should get PPI meds from your Dr if you have gastritis. unfortunately it can go on for months.

Hi Sam,
Along with my IBS i was diagnosed with mild gastritis and was prescribed a PPI called
omeprazole. It has helped but took a little while to kick in. nothing is a quick fix for this horrible disease.

thanks to everyone who has responded, i bought the gaviscon from the chemist on advice of the doctor's. i have tried lots of different medication and i react to so much they suggested non-stop gaviscon! i need help with this but they've tried everything....
