I am asking if any one else here has problems with the stomach? I feel naucious alot of the time. Taste metal a couple times a week. I've had acid reflux and heartburn alot. Better than half the month is spent finding ways to please my stomach. Been to the doctor and come home with another medication. Nausea sets in sometimes before I eat Here lately, after I eat. I live on water-I'd hate to find this the cause of my problem since I dont care for much else.

Any thoughts or ideas?

Harley,

I know that many different medications can cause stomch problems, heartburn, and acid reflux. I take Prilosec and it really helps.

I used prilosec too for 8 weeks straight. That helped me too. Hope it helps.
I have dystonia, neuropathy, gerd, arthritis, and fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel and other ailments. I enjoy embroidery,music, and reading my Bible and Christian books. I love to bake. I try to be very supportive and positive.

I've had chronic diarrhea since starting my cocktail of meds when diagnosed last year. I'm also seeing 4 different dr.s and each blames it on another's script. I think it's the celebrex or plaquenil. Iron pills and vicodin help more than the script they gave me, but there has to be a better remedy. Any Help Plaese.

I hear the vicodin causes constipation, so I dont think it is that
