I found that when I stopped taking the ppis the stomach ache was there a bit and then went. What really helped me was the probiotics and I can now drink coffee with no problem where before it was difficult to.

So am returning to using them with a vengeance. What bad sisde effects did you get with lansoprazole? People get this idea that if they switch to anohter it will be fine, but they all do the same thing, stop or reduce acid, and that is the problem. Our bodies and stomaches do not like it and some of us have to little stomach acid to begin with. I tried bicarbonate of soda for a while and it helped but then when I took it I would end up coughing and wheezing a lot and could barely walk down the road! Do look into the strains that are in the biotics not just how many. A lot of them list lots of strains yet a lot of them are only the strains that are suitable for things that are nothing to do with your problem.

Nor can an operation. The ppis might be ok for a bit and then when you stop you get the bad stomach again but that is simply your body adjusting to no longer taking it and the acid returning to the stomach. You need to break through those few days or so lwhere that happens not get scared and return to the ppis and then all is fine again. If you have I.B.S. then ppis are not the answer and ppis have many negatives.
If you turn to the probiotics do be careful. Make sure they are the right strains. Not just any or the more the merrier. Research them. Yoghurt must be live, it must have no sugar and no fruit and preservatives etc. Making your own is the best way, buy yoghurt culture for that, a natural one. It is ever so easy to make and the day after there it is. I am taking different biotics and when I get to the end of one lot I switch to another but my research showed me that a lot of them contain the same strains so if that is the case one brand is the same as another. You may as well got for the cheapest one then. Water kefir, fermented foods and milk kefir are now hailed as the in thing, I found the water kefir too time consuming, tasted horrible, too much sugar in it for my tastes and cannot see how a drink based on sugar is healthy anyway.
Make sure you take prebiotics not just the biotics and cut out sugar as much as you can.
