| 1 | Gastritis | Nausea and slight headache. I'm also taking 49mg Prilosec 1x day. | I don't think this drug is helping and its very hard to take. Empty stomach 2 hours before taking other meds like.my bp pills it's a lot of work | F | 64 | 3 days 1 gm 2X day | 8/23/2016 | 1 | Ulcer | Severe mouthwatering, mild nausea, stomach upset, intestinal cramping, diareah | Tried for 2 days but by day 2 the mouthwatering/ nausea lasted all day then the cramps and diareah began. Dosage schedule very inconvenient for trying to keep food in stomach, no food 2 hr before or 1 hr after made empty stomach stretches too long and worsened by sour stomach with constant watering mouth. I tried! I quit it! | F | 57 | 2 days 20? | 6/21/2016 | 5 | Bile gastritis and severe gerd | It has helped my stomach pain from gastritis so much. And eliminated my severe gerd that was causing my productive cough. Very greatful. | No side effects either. | F | 61 | 5 years | 5/27/2016 | 1 | Bleeding ulcer from NG tube | Horrible Nausea and a chlorine taste in my mouth. Not helping me at all, but can't stop because of bleeding risk. | Wish there was a different pill to take! | F | 37 | 3 weeks 1 gram | 5/13/2016 | 5 | GERD | In the beginning some stomach pain until I ate. Some heart palpitations and shortness of breath | But it works and I would take it again if needed. It definitely works and I feel much better. Omeprazola (Prilosec) and pantoprazole (protonix) wasn't working for me any more | F | 64 | 30 days 3X day | 3/16/2016 | 5 | Bile gastritis | Loose, frequent stools in AM. | Have had longstanding GI problems, gastritis, Mastocytosis entericolitis, erosions in stomach, bike reflux. This drug has really helped! | F | 62 | 8 days 1 Gram | 3/1/2016 | 3 | Gastritis | Terrible long lasting headaches after about three weeks. | Will try to spread out dose to mitigate side effect. | M | 43 | 1 months 4xD | 2/24/2016 | 3 | Acid reflux and ulcers | The carafate works with burning tissues from reflux, but I take it only for 2 weeks at a time when my reflux causes ulcers and pain..I had a dilatation and now suffer from extreme reflux even though my diet now is mostly vegetables and rice..boiled chicken etc. Carafate works but causes memory loss and confusion for me so I do not take continuously. | F | 60 | 2 weeks 40 mg | 2/15/2016 | 2 | Gastritis | Migraines stomach pain nausea | F | 46 | 4 days Four times | 2/7/2016 | 5 | Barretts esophogus/reflux /hiatal h | Constapation. Dizzy. | Works as miracle drug for me. Got my life back. | F | 62 | 4 months 1gm/2 time | 1/30/2016 | 3 | Thin lining in stomach causing burn | Nausea and insomnia | F | 45 | 4 days 40 mg | 1/14/2016 | 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 1 GM 3X day | 12/20/2015 | 3 | Gastritis-Barretts Esophagus | Absolutely none, not sure what people are talking about other than it tastes pretty awful. | I'm not feeling any better, yet,but I suppose that's to be expected as its only been 3 days. | F | 54 | 3 days | 11/22/2015 | 5 | IBS-D and Gastritis | Dizziness | This medicine worked very well after tried so many other medicine, such as Prevacid, Zenpep, etc. | F | 80 | 12 days 5ml 3X day | 11/16/2015 | 4 | Ulcer | Nauesa, dizziness | F | 47 | 7 days 1g | 9/13/2015 | 5 | nausea & vomiting after gastric byp | No side effects noted. | F | 51 | 3 months 1 gm | 8/24/2015 | 5 | Gerd | I started taking carafate 3 days ago.

One whole pill made me nauseated. | Instead of taking this 2x daily I take one half a pill at bedtime only. I also drink cabbage juice (google it)and turmeric. This is so expensive it's immoral.

My mother-in-law was also drinking from aluminum cans of pop, and soon complained of a strong metallic taste in her mouth.
