    Oh Hileena!!

    WHY didn't I think of this when you said you had a bad belly in your PM:? This is what happens to me and they work soooo very well don't they diclos :roll: :oops:

    I do hope it settles quickly and you can get back on them very soon.

    Love

    Hi Hileena
    I find it best to have the Lanzaprozole at the side of the bed and take it as I wake.....It needs to be taken at least 30mins before any food hits the stomach!
    Hope that helps

    Hi Hilleena

    It just makes sense to take it early in the day following many hours without anything in the stomach.

    Acid can be present then too the medication comes under the umbrella of "Proton pump inhibitors" and thus reduces excess gastric acid production.

    hope this is helpful.

    That's good that your doc is going to give you something to line your stomach..... now if only he'd thought of that in the first place :D :roll:

    hope it won't be long until it all settles and you're able to get the full benefit from the dicolos. :wink:

    any word about a back doc appointment yet? or did I miss that :oops:

    Hi Iris, Believe it or not I suggested it to the doc....didnt know the names but knew they were to line your stomach when taking anti inflams.....but he shrugged it off. I felt like telling him "told you so"or why didnt you listen in the first place :lol:
    No word from the back doc yet
    Sorry I missed your post
    Love

    Hi,
    Got them....they are Omeprazole capsules. I checked with the pharmicist and she looked it up and said once a day and take it roughly the same time each day if poss ....said it didnt matter whether I took it before a meal or after a meal. I think I will keep them at the side of my bed and take them NEARLY first thing. We take a tray upstairs with a travelling kettle and when the alarm goes of hubby gets up makes tea and bring it back to bed. I'll probably take it round about then and then by the time I sort breakfast out ...well that will be about another half hr LOL
    Love
    Hileena

    Hi
    I dont know how all this started......a long time ago but its a good idea isnt it??? :wink: It used to be at the weekend when we were both working hard during the week..... On Sat he would make the tea {in the bedroom} and I would go down and do the toast and on Sunday I made the tea and he went and did the toast. During the week we didnt have that time to lie in so it was just tea and he made it.
    Hope it works LOL :lol:

    Love
    Hileena
