There is no contraindication against taking probiotic.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Who subscribed the Prilosec for 14 days.  If you self medicated it, please go to your family doctor to have a standard triple medication for h pylori. After that the symptoms will be gone.

Question 3

I have problems swallowing certain foods i take prilosec 40mg twice a day along with zantac 300mg at night will a digestive enzyme w/o  probiotic help

Accepted Answer

A ball or lump sensation in your throat past which you can easily swallow is called "globus"--a functional problem that acid blockers likely won't help. Nor would it likely address esophageal spasm, dysmotility, or eosinophilic esophagitis. Have you had manometry?Might want endoscopy for definitive biopsy +/- address peptic stricture that may constrict the swallowing tube & benefit from dilation.

Question 4

Is it safe to use prilosec with phillips probiotics?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the two products are safe together.

Question 5

Prilosec vs pepcid (famotidine) vs probiotics for distended stomach?

Accepted Answer

....To what will help with a distended abdomen depends entirely on the cause of the distention.  Probiotics are helpful with a lot of digestive issues, if you take them regularly.  The two meds you mention reduce stomach acid and are unlikely to help with distention.  If this is happening often, look to your diet for a solution.  This problem is often diet related.

Question 6

5 -45 minutes after i eat my belly is bloated and i will have abdominal pain. i have already tried probiotics, augmentin flagyl, and prilosec.

Accepted Answer

You need further evaluation. If your symptoms continue after treatment tell your doctor and return to be re evaluated

Question 7

I have metastatic breast cancer to the bone. i am on tamoxifen and zometa. one of them is causing severe acid indigestion. prilosec, probiotics and digestive enzymes do nothing. can i try dgl? (deglycyrrhizinated licorice?

Accepted Answer

Because DGL is a supplement so we could not check the interaction between these meds and supplement. I think you can try DGL for 2 weeks to see if it can alleviate your GI symptoms. If it is effective you need to notify  your oncologist about its use if continued. If it dose not work, your medications, either Tamoxifen or Zometa needs to be replaced, one by one, to figure out what the culprit is.

Question 8

Is it okay to take omeprazole and probiotics together daily?

Accepted Answer

Omeprazole use over long-term can cause medical problems down the road--increases infections, bone loss etc...But if this is what you need, then you need it.
It is ok to use both, however.
In general, don't take meds if you don't have to.
If you do, then regular follow-up with your doc who can help monitor you more closely and intervene when needed.
Good luck.

Question 9

I recently asked about taking a multivitamin with probiotic while taking omeprazole and domperidone, could you tell me is it better to take the multiv?

Accepted Answer

You can take a multivitamin with omeprazole and domperidone. Omeprazole can decrease absorption of certain vitamins/minerals such as B-12 and iron. A multivitamin can help counteract those vitamin/mineral losses. A probiotic is different than a multivitamin. It helps to populate the healthy bacteria in your gut, which can help prevent constipation, diarrhea, and other illnesses.

Question 10

Currently on 2 x 20mg omeprazole and dymista nasal spray(fluticasone/azelastine) for pnd and lpr. can i take oregano oil and probiotics also?

Accepted Answer

You can take both of these in the usual quantities.Oregano oil is not  a tested medication. 
 I would suggest eating well before bedtime, limiting alcohol/ caffeine and sleeping with an additional pillow. If these measures are not helpful your medications may need an adjusted dose.
