Re: help with stomach pain/Donna

Hi Donna!!

Hope you are feeling somewhat better today. Protonix is what Glenn has been

on for several months now, with no problems. They just took him off of it

last week, thinking it might be causing the severe diarrhea he's had for

almost 2 wks., but

he's still having the diarrhea!! It DIDN'T cause the diarrhea, the Cipro

anti-biotic CAUSED it, but they were thinking that since he's been off the

Cipro, and now off the Flagyl and still having problems, they would take away

the

Protonix. What a pain in the butt... pun intended!!

Lots of hugs and prayers, Donelle

I have a duodenal tumor that WAS ulcerated and bleeding causing

pain. The GI dr gave me prevacid which helped the reflux. My onc

then gave me another medicine called carafate. It is a pill you

crush and take an hour before you eat. It is supposed to coat the

ulcer area. It worked very well for me. I used it with the

prevacid. I have to restart the med now because while the tumor

isn't bleeding I can feel it is there.
