PRILOSEC LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES
by Dnas1, May 20, 2009 09:40AM
1) CAN TAKING PRILOSEC FOR OVER 6 MONTHS CAUSE G-cells to produce to much Gastrin in the stomach lining?
2) UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD ONE TAKE PRILOSEC FOR OVER 6 MONTHS?
3) CAN ONE PREVENT OVER-PRODUCTION OF GASTRIN?
4) CAN ONE DO SOMETHING TO REMOVE EXCESS ACID, besides taking more PRILOSEC?
CAN I GET A SEPARATE ANSWER FOR EACH OF THE 4 QUESTIONS PLEASE. THANK YOU!

2. I am taking it for this long as I have had some nausea and all tests showed that I have absolutely nothing wrong with me - yet when I go off Prilosec it comes back; when I stay on it I'm pretty much ok. Doctor said stay on it.
3. I don't know.
4. There are other meds such as Prevacid, etc. but it's still an antacid. Sometimes a blander diet can help with acid. Lots of water. I also take a probiotic - it doesn't say this helps for acid but they are for stomach concerns. Perhaps worth looking into.
Sorry this isn't the most helpful answer ever but perhaps this might assist you a bit.
Good Luck.
