Silent Reflux after taking lansoprazole?
Posted , 7 users are following.
Hi, I've made a forum post about acid reflux roughly a month ago, since then I've been taking lansoprazole properly once a day just before dinner. lansoprazole certainly solved the problem of food wanting to come out, however now after eating I get a bloating/tightness in my stomach and a food stuck feeling in my throat area, also I always wants to burp (Feeling gas wants to come out but the burp isn't smooth if you know what I mean), yes it is an uncomfortable feeling, but not as bad as heartburn. I just wanna know if anyone experienced this is before? And whether this is a sign that the lansoprazole is working, and am I in the healing process?

Burping you’re describing is the golden symptom that is showing you that it’s highly likely that your HCL levels are low. Causing the food to sit around and ferment in the gut. Why not to visit a GP once again for consultation? I would also advise on changing lifestyle and eating habits, if not done already. Eating high fibre food from veggies, fruits or dairy products can lead to excessive gas formation. A consultation from dietitian/nutritionist should also be helpful.

Hi Simon,
I started on Omeprazole medication when I first started with bad heartburn symptoms which worked great. Then I started with the lump in the throat feeling, so my doctor changed me to Lansoprazole as its stronger. This seems to be working ok but I have only been taking it for two weeks up to now. I stil have the lump feeling so I am on a mainly liquid only diet at the moment and am awaiting a barium swallow test to see what is going on inside. I would definitely go back to your doctor and maybe try and different type of medication as I have been told there is about four different ones to try that all do the same thing. Maybe try and get a test done too to check things out. Hope that helps. Take care, Amanda.

Hi,
Try taking a teaspoonful of apple cider vinegar and some digestive enzymes with your food. I did that and it helped.
