Pancreatic Pain and OTC Antacids

[Guest guest]

Shybasset,

I take Prilosec every morning. I do not feel that antacids do anything to

relieve the pancreatic abdominal or back pain. The Prilosec does relieve the

severe indigestion and reflux caused by the pancreatitis, however. When I have

skipped it for some reason, I definitely can tell the difference. As far as

prescribed antacids and OTC (over the counter) antacids, I think there are

some OTC antacids that can work, for example Prilosec has an OTC formula out. I

have taken this one, successfully, when I have run out temporarily.
