Acid indigestion on Reta
-
At the risk of asking the obvious, have you tried tums? My reflux mostly went away when I started Tirz, but now I sometimes get it, probably as a combination of drinking too much water and the low dose tadalafil.
More info and details are needed.

Oddly, I don't have as much problem on reta compared to triz. Could not tolerate triz. History of GERT, and esophageal erosion, resulting in bleeding and anemia. I am hoping I have less problems when I lose more weight.
On pantoprazole (protonix) currently for this.
My suggestions for acid indigestion, your experience may vary, blah blah.
Try in this order:- life-style, no eating before bed. do not lie down immediately after eating, period. Incline your head/chest some when lying down. Try and figure out what exactly triggers it for you. Large greasy meals are my trigger.
- Tums
- Famatidine
- Omeprazole Note: if you do a 14 day course, you must do at least 2 days of Famatidine immediately after to handle the acid rebound.
- Pantoprazole (perscription).
- Pantoprazole and Famatidine both.
Try and avoid having to start doing omeprazole or pantoprazole which are systemic. They create other problems with absorption of nutrients and other medicines as well...

@clarkt None. Your message doesnt provide much detail. Did you have it before? Have you changed your eating habits due to the delayed gastric emptying?
@Mydogdaryl423 I'll add another — what's the strength of research dose?
A lot has to do with dosing strength.

@ResearchCat I never had any acid reflux issues while one Reta until recently I started 5mg daily tadalifil and its absolutely horrible. I started taking 10mg of pepcid along with the tadalifil. Does the water have an effect also? Ive been drinking at least a gallon a day to help with high hematocrit.

Yeah, the tadalafil will make reflux worse because it relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter. I started taking it in the morning and it got a lot better. I still get a bit of reflux but not as bad as it was. I think the water may also make it worse just because i drink lots of it and think maybe it makes things back up a bit.
