I use Omeprazole it helps my stomach and acid reflux. I t was prescribed by my gastro doctor and she treats my IBS with Diphenoxylate-Atrop 2.5-0.025

Gramybear, my doctor prescribed Pantoprazole 40mg. There are OTC versions but they are slightly different chemically so I preferred to stick with what I already knew was working. Not an expensive drug and no major issues with long term use. Good luck giving it a try.

I am on one for quite a while it does seem to help if I take half hour before dinner. When I took it in the morning I had more trips to the bathroom!

They are both PPI. More people tolerate Protonix for years.
Good luck Judee!

Thank you for the response. I was tested and treated for all types of bacteria when it started years ago. GI doctor's only suggestion was the FODMAP diet. Unfortunately, it wasn't helpful for me. Too many inconsistencies of which foods to avoid. Plus, I have a strange trigger of any tap water outside my home. Being on this drug has been the only relief I've experienced in 8 years. Hoping my doctor will agree to keep me on it.
