Severe burning in intestines/stomach
by billbaggins, Jan 20, 2007 12:00AM
Ok. I have been on Prevacid for about two weeks now because I have GERD, but I was taking it because the doctor gave it to me to help with possible blockage in my intestines. But on Thursday, I decided to stop taking it because I only have a few pills left, and I also believe the blockage was gone (I had a really big stool earlier this week), and also I really don't like taking medications unless I absolutely have to.
Anyway, I started getting a burning sensation in my stomach and intestines last night after having a cup of chamomile tea. Then it started getting worse and worse and worse until it was almost to the point that I could not stand it (I was up til about 5:00 AM this morning in pain).
I finally decided to start retaking the Prevacid to see if it would help. About 30 minutes after I started taking it, I felt better...which sucks, because I don't want to be reliant on the Prevacid. But I was finally able to get some sleep.
What I am wondering is if my stomach started over-producing acid since I have been on the Prevacid or if it might be something else?
I plan on going back to the doctor this week because his most current remedy doesn't seem to be helping much.

I suggest trying natural alternative approached... perhaps see a naturopath?
