Looking for Ryan

I mainly have the constipation now...as i eat more fiber. I am taking prilosec, temazepam for sleep if needed, and belladona-phenobarbit, for gas amd cramping, which i am affraid to take. So i don't take it unless really needed.

I get alot of acid buildup but am trying to drink decaf coffee only. I have had slip ups. I try to take a tylenol for sleep and my klonopin at night. .1mg at night of klonopin and .5 in am's.

I was asked to ask you your input in these medicines.

I amalso trying the eating for IBS book.

Thank you Ryan

Hi dooges,

Thank you for your reply,

actually i have no side affects from the losec. I take one in the am.so all is well so far.

I do hope all goes well with the colonoscopy for you.

True i am finding out NO MORE DECAF!..grrrr. So My husband and i went out and bout herbal teas over the weekend and probiotic drinks.

Best of luck keep us posted. BTW..you are not Ryan correct? That is fine if not.

I see you are also on prilosec ( presuming it's the same as losec ) and are suffering from constipation and gas issues. Does this make you abdomin area feel heavy, tense or slightly bloated as well. As in my other post do you think it vould be a side effect from the losec?
Another thing that I have learnt is that decaf coffee is also very acidic. You might have to go to a herbal tea that is completely caffiene and acid free instead. But not peppermint apparently.
I'm still not sure if it's my body coming back to normal or if this is something that I'm going to have for a while..
After my 3 month course of losec is finished I will give it a 2-3 weeks to see if I come good otherwise it's off for the dreaded lower cam thing ( colonoscopy )
See other posts for more of what i've been going through if youlike..
Good luck with yours
