Have lpr & take prilosec qd. when stomach is empty (between meals) notice more symptoms. trying to diet but this is uncomfortable. suggestions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few suggestions: Both weight loss and improvement in your symptoms can be helped by eating several small meals during the day. This will keep your metabolism up and help with your LPR symptoms. Drink plenty of water during the day to soothe your throat and keep you feeling full. Also, Prilosec is often dosed up to 40 mg twice/day for LPR rather than the usual 20 or 40 mg once/day.
