Bile reflux, taking carafate and 2 aciphex (rabeprazole).still have burning in gut.bland diet & small meals are not helping. what can i take to relieve? pepcid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bile reflux: Unfortunately bile reflux differs from acid reflux and is not usually helped by medications like prilosec, aciphex, (rabeprazole)nexium,pepcid,zantac,etc. Carafate May be helpful.Avoid greasy and fried foods. A gastroenterologist is best qualified to document the diagnosis and advise you.
