Merry Blessed Christmas Dr. Christy. May you and those you cherish have a wonderful holiday celebration. AND. Thank you so much for this information as I sit here with heartburn lol. I have never taken one of these OTC medications, but am very tempted to run out and get one right now. Thanks to you I know which one to get.
Thank you for your help. I didn't know the difference between PPIs and H2 blockers. I suffer from GERD and PPIs make my GERD much worse. The GI doctor asked me to try Famotadine (H2) 40mg twice a day and it is working! People, try H2 blockers first.
Great information. Thank you so much, Dr. Christy. Best wishes to you and your family for a Merry Christmas and all the best blessings in the New Year. ❤🎉
Doctor, I'm 26 but I subscribed to your channel. I'm gonna wish you and your whole family a merry Christmas and a safe prosperous new dear. God-bless all of you!
I been on PPI's for 20 years now. I'm 54 and I been diagnosed with Osteoarthritis recently. Every morning when I wake up, all my joints hurt. The joints that hurt the most is my fingers, thumbs, and knees. I have GERD really bad. I will have to switch to Pepcid. Hopefully I can reverse the OA. I didn't know being on this med for a long time would cause me having really bad joint pain. Thank you for the video!
Thank you for this video as I take a prescription strength pantoprazole (which is generic for protonix) which is PPI. However the last few months before I go to bed I take Pepcid AC. I was waking up in the middle of the night vomiting bile every few hours and my doctor recommended me taking Pepcid AC before I go to bed to help with the acid production of what is waking me up at night and making me sick. I may ask my doctor if I should switch to the Prilosec instead of Pepcid AC. I don't get heartburn I just wake up and start vomiting a bunch of bile.
Is it ok to take Prilosec the day after i taken Pepcid?i want to try Prilosec as i think it would help my situation better as ive been struggling with acid for a while now.thanks for the information
@@cissem4025 Before I went on medication, I would often cough when lying down, a common symptom of acid reflux. Since going on medication, I have not had that problem.
Prilosec worked much better for me then any other heartburn medicine. I don't remember if I taken Pepcid or not. But I know prilosec worked so fast for me.
I've had symptoms of the flu in the side effects since Halloween 2023 it is now November 17th 2023 and I went to the ER yesterday for stomach and intestinal pain. Before that I was put on prilosec and pepcid together... One time a day for 1 and 2 times a day for the other. The ER has kept me on those 2 and has added Zolfran to the mix. I will take Zofran but I'm hesitant about taking the other 2. Please help me with any advice
@@TinaVaughn007 Didn't you not just hear her say : Omeprazole has caused him to have a lot of polyps in his stomach?? What part of that didn't you not understanding??
If you have heartburn it’s because you don’t have enough acid in your stomach to deal with whatever you ate and you know what I mean like fried food, etc. just take a teaspoon or table spoon of apple cider vinegar in a few ounces of water and it will go away without damaging your already upset stomach! Swish out your mouth with some water after so the vinegar does not erode your tooth enamel. Thanks to all the you tube drs that describe this remedy!
I take a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar once or twice a day and voila...cured my chronic daily heartburn of years immediately...treat the cause and not the symptom. Apparently as you get older your body starts producing less stomach acid and the valve (lower esophageal sphincter) relaxes and causes the issue, if you decrease the pH (increase the acidity) by consuming some vinegar the valve closes and no more problem...the problem with modern health care is exactly this video...why do you have acid reflux in the first place? 🤔
I would never touch this products ever again. I had the occasional heartburn and I took Pepcid. It lowered my stomach acid, which increased bacteria to go up into my small intestine and now I’m stuck with Sibo.
You are so right. That stuff causes lots of propane cancer seems to be one. People who take popular heartburn drugs like Prevacid, Prilosec and Nexium are vulnerable to death from cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease (CKD) and upper gastrointestinal cancer, according to new research published in The BMJ.May 31, 2019
Give him a spoonful of bicarbonate of soda mixed in slightly warm water until dissolved, then let him drink it, problem solved, I recommend this to all my patients with acid problems in stomach, has never failed yet!
Yeah the only thing is that sodium bicarbonate (for me atleast) only helps in the moment as sodium bicarbonate is a base it doesnt seem to do anything to reduce the amount of acid being produced just neutralizes the acid that has already been produced providing symptom relief for maybe an hour or two.
Thanks for your "advice" for the past few years, Doc! Happy Christmas to you, your hubby, and the kids!
Thanks. You got to the bottom line very quickly.
Thank you for this video !!! It was a one stop shop for me !! ❤
Great info. Also I dig the sweater.
Its so effective... Pepcid. I already try it here in the Philippines.

I have acid reflux and I have been taking a prescription proton pump inhibitor for about a decade. So far, so good.
Which one are you taking? I was taking Pantoprazole but I got switched to Omeprazole
@@JuneGirl35 I've been on Omeprazole.
do you have to sleep elevated/left to control night time reflux when on ppi ?

I need prilosec because of daily 81mg. aspirin causing to stomach lining. Pepcid not strong enough.
I don't have heartburn. I just have a lot of belching after drinking liquids. Will prilosec otc work?
Years of taking Omeprazole has caused me to have a lot of polyps in my stomach. I am now using Famotidine, and it works just as well.
You're not supposed to take continuously for long periods. You're supposed to take a month break every two weeks
@@TinaVaughn007 Didn't you not just hear her say : Omeprazole has caused him to have a lot of polyps in his stomach?? What part of that didn't you not understanding??
I have A.R. everyday. It's not a temporary thing for me. Had it for over 40 years.
Does famotidine (Pepcid) also help with stomach inflammation ? How long should it be taken?
2 weeks? But also need to eat healthy
I have Barrett's esophagus should I take both? Whats the max pepcid in a day?
No more then 2 in 24 hour 40 mg
how about hiatal hernia reflux?
Best I ever found was Ranitidine (old Zantac). Shame it’s no longer manufactured
True but it was increasing risks of cancers, so that's understandable
It was causing cancer 🫣
I was taking pantoprazole but I got switched to Famotidine
It's better? I use pantoprazole

How often can you safely use Tums?
I think calcium pills like Tums are dangerous because heart arteries can get clogged up with calcium. Good idea not to take calcium supplements.
Tried dexilan and pantaloc Omg big time diarrhée. Just started pepcid wow just perfect
Is there any side effects when coming off these medications? 🤔
On long term, yeah. Depends on what medication you taking, you just gotta look for the med on google and they will tell you the long-term effect.

sleeping on my left all night caused me more harm than the the acid reflux itself.
You eat pizza and you get heartburn……don’t eat pizza.🤷🏾♀️
Yeah, but it's not just about pizza for me. It's a large list and I can't avoid all that.
