Guest guest Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 I was having a bad time with indigestion since being put back on anti-inflammatories, Lodine. It isn't the MTX since I've been taking it for over 16 years. In order to live with it, I was prescribed Prilosec OTC every day. I've since found that a half pill a day takes away the indigestion, but occasionally I need more, so a Rolaids takes care of it. Kate, try that and see if it will help, it did for me.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Rolaids seem to work for a little while. I'm not taking any anti-imflammatories any more, they never did anything for me. So I take an Advil every now and then. I'm almost positive it's the stress. Thanks for your advise, if it gets worse or Rolaids don't cut it I'll probably end up at the doctor.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2007 Report Share Posted February 17, 2007 Dennis, perhaps some DGL could relieve the heart burn. Since I have been on NSAIDS for years, I, too stand the possibility of ulcerating my stomach. I take the DGL and it does not take away the acid needed to digest the food, but allows mucous to exude and line the stomach to protect it. at least that is what I have red from several sources. I Googled it on the net after a pharmy I know well from India suggested I check it out. It helps me a lot. I think anything that neutralizes the acid like Tums, prilosec, etc, just causes a thing like your stomach says, " wow! there's all that stuff coming down and I don't have and my acid I need to digest it has been neutralized! MY MY! I'll have to make some more acid! " From what I understand is that the DGL helps to protect the esophagus and stomach from the acid. I may be totally wrong, but it is working pretty well for me. leona ---- betnden@... wrote: > I was having a bad time with indigestion since being put back on > anti-inflammatories, Lodine.
