I have both IBS and acid reflux and easily get a sore stomach. I am taking 15 mg of Previcid daily and have been for a long time. If I stop taking it I get queasy and end up with a sore stomach. Is it safe to take Previcid every day and what do you think causes the sore stomach? Also I am wondering if taking Previcid every day causes a loss of nutrients from the vitamins I take?

You are having features of irritable bowel syndrome.
The medications that you need are -
1. PPI
2. Anti -spasmodics
Discuss with your doctor about starting these medications.
