Acid Reflux / GERD

[BNLFL]

Generic Voquezna is available from India and was a miracle pill. I had some degree of heartburn almost all day, predating my GLP use. Sleeping in a recliner also helped.

Is that still still around?

Yep. Generic name of Voquezna is vonoprazan, available at AllDayChemist and IndiaMart. I bought it from Kawal last year, even though not on his website (DMOnlineMeds). So Beyond Care may have it too (BeyondMedex). With all the IndianMart sellers their websites are only a subset of their inventory. I also bought it from ReliableRx/AllDayChemist.

India is also a good source for pet meds. There are a couple GBs for pet meds from India to help manage the customs situation and the shipping costs.

I had exactly that - was my birthday and overdosed on chocolate and cake for a couple of days and had the worst heartburn at night. I could only sleep on my left hand side. Removing the fatty food def made a big difference.

So I titrated up to 2mg a week and had no sides. When I increased from there I got what some used to called the ketoflu for about two days. That’s when the acid reflux/heart burn kicked in. I was noticeable at night it would wake me up. I did noticed if would be if i ate too late so i timed me feedings better. But now I’m at 4mg and the only time i get acid reflux now is when i need to eat. Not sure if anyone else has had this happen to them . I’ve literally been woken up to it consistently between 2-3am and had to eat a small bit of carbs to get it to subside and get back to sleep.

Dude no way this might have been what I got. Since the last few days I havent had any more issues at all with it. Now im wondering if i also just had it temporarily

Hey all, recently these past few days ive been getting what I think is called either Acid Reflux or GERD. Ive been eating meals during the afternoon that were pretty fatty and greasy sometimes but towards the night time whenever id lay down in bed id get a really uncomfortable burning sensation that would go up from my chest to my throat. Id find that every now and then as im laying down i have to stand straight up and burp a bunch of times to help relieve it and empty out the gasses in my stomach. Is this something serious where I should lower my dose or is there anything I should be doing to prevent it? Just for some more context i was on 1 mg of reta for about 2 weeks and did not feel any bad side effects so i increased it to 2 mg and thinking now it might be too much and i should try 1.5.

Definitely heart burn…I it get too on Reta especially if I eat anything that’s fried or acidic. Drink some milk and or antacid tablet like Tums. Be careful with the other pills, some you can only use for 14 days.

Same with the right side sleeping, it's true. I hate sleeping on my left side. I just roll to my back, or pop a tums.

Yeah, my EP really wants me to sleep on my right side to minimize stroke risks from AFib, but everytime I do, I get heartburn because of the ultra slow stomach emptying from GLP-1s.

Legit went away after about a week when i got up to 4mg and i noticed it was the worst when i ate too close to bed or something higher in fat.

We now eat around 5-5:30 instead of 6:30 because of this. Obviously eating way less.

I just started taking Omeprazole with my meds at night, and it seems to be working. I'm already on anabolics that tend to give me a little bit of acid reflux so I've been chewing a Pepcid complete once in a while, but switching to Omeprazole I haven't needed any Pepcid so far.

yeh i can only sleep on my left side because of the heartburn...

Vonoprazan is a lifesaver. I rely on peptobismol, omeprazole, esmeprazole, pantoprazole, Gelusil due to bad acidity since sleeve surgery.. But when I have vonoprazan, nothing else matters: sleeping on side, fatty food, even being tricked by disgustingly spicy food [heck, capsaicin is a neurotoxin]

 

[RamCummins6.7]

I actually try and do this too, but i try and get up earlier in the morning so that i can get my meals in. Smaller meals makes a difference too.

Can definitely second the omeprazole solving the issue for me. Also supposedly one thing that brings it on or makes it worse is lying down soon after eating, in case anyone has a habit of doing that, I know I did lol
