 5  CVS on ROB thru pic line 24 he day None had to stop taking because it was covered by my insurance and cost me $50 through Humana and one day when I went to refill the liquid version was $2000. The man next to me with United Heath Care had the same problem. Anyone know the reason for the huge jump in cost for the liquid version 48 3 months

 5  C Diff, IBS No side effects which is odd for me! I got C Diff somehow, was on Flagyl for on week deathly deathly sick, switched to Generic Cipro still making me sick. Gastro Pa prescribed this for me to help keep my stomach calm to take the antiobiotics. This drug is amazing and has helped me so much. If you have never tried it I would ask for it. Its done wonders also for my IBS. Most ever medication I take does not like me but this one is A++ F 44 5 days

 5  Crohn's disease nausea, headaches I'm taking Carafate along with many other medicines for Crohn's disease and today I'm not feeling so hot. I'm extremely fatigued, I have nausea, chills, and stomach cramps. I don't know if this is from the Carafate or the AciPhex (since I started both at the same time). I currently take three to four tablets a day depending on what's needed. The only down side is that the pills dissolve INSTANTLY and you end up swallowing a bunch of horrible tasting dissolved mush. F 18 3 days

 5  Reflux at night No side effects at all. I experienced nighttime reflux for many months. I almost choked to death several times. I was so afraid of it that I would only sleep sitting up in a chair. You can imagine what that was like along with work and caring for my child. My husband tried sleeping sitting up in the living room with me for support, but why ruin his life and career too. The GI that I was seeing tried everything and I followed every tip and guideline out there. Endoscopy showed nothing. The GI finally precribed Carafate. IT WORKED IMMEDIATELY!!! I take a two teaspoonful dose (that's all!) prior to going to bed and I sleep with a fifteen degree wedge pillow and have not experienced a single episode since. It is truly a wonder drug. My quality of life has been restored. F 34 4 months

 5  Stomach Ulcers/Gastric Acid Constipation when I first started taking them. I was on Carafate 4 times a day plus Nexium 1 time a day for bleeding stomach ulcers and gastric acid. These pills worked very well for me and I was able to stop taking them all together. F 35 5 months

 5  gastritis Some brief heart burn from time to time I have to say that this is a wonderful medicine. I have taken it on & off for over 20 years.

 5  C Diff caused gastritis, IBD Dizziness, dry mouth I have severe gastritis and inflammation through out my small and large intestines. With in the first week it calmed down a lot. I am on other medications so I always check interactions and side effects. This drug does cause a lot of interactions with other meds so be careful how and when you take it. I only take on an empty stomach and go exactly by directions for time between medicines. Since I am on blood pressure medicine its very important it doesn't interfere with that. Right now after so much pain and being so ill I went through with C Diff this is my only option to hopefully I will get back to normal again. So I am making sure to follow everything to the letter. Or I could progress to ulcers and surgery. So that makes me so glad to have this and take it. F 57 90 days
