I went back to my GP who again upped my dose to 30mg morning and 30mg at night, but this awful up and down feeling in my gullet persisted continually for a full 12 days, I stayed on a bland fat free diet, and yesterday for the first time felt much better. I celebrated with half a tiny peice of pork sasauge I am now so scared and worried that I may have cancer or some other reason for this awful condidtion.
WHY would lansoprazole suddenly stop working? Today i feel awful, not hungry, burning stomach, feel sick and still have reflux Posted 7 years ago. I am back to the GP on Monday I will ask about this There are not too many hospitals that do it. Please do not despair.
Anxiety makes it worse. I am not a doctor but i do not think it is cancer. It seems that when you were on the bland diet all seems well. Keep on with the bland diet Sharon. I think our body is telling is we need to heal. I am taking aloe vera sipping it day and night. And I am starting manuka honey a little teaspoon day and night. When each ceased to be effective my symptoms worsened each time. I then went back to Lansoprazile for a while before regressing and prescribed Esomeprazole Nexium.
That seems to be the one that suits me and I've been taking it for over eight years. This privately. I have sent you a private message I hope you get it if you want to chat. I had the same situation. I have been taking omeprazol for one and a half year.
All was fine, never had reflux and then after one trip to a restaurant got all at once- feeling sick, pain all over my stomach, caughing at night, something was coming up to my throat. I put myself on a strict diet and in a week all symptoms became better but reflux getting worse and worse. I do not know how to live with that. When lansoprazole is stopped, a common side effect is rebound acid secretion, where the acid secretion in your stomach increases significantly.
This should return to normal within 2 weeks. Because the symptoms of rebound acid secretion are the same as for reflux such as indigestion, discomfort and pain in your upper stomach and chest, feeling sick and an acid taste in your mouth , it can form an ongoing loop where stopping lansoprazole treatment creates the need to start it again.
Rather than restart lansoprazole, your doctor may advise you to use medicines that contain both an antacid and an anti-foaming agent, such as Acidex oral liquid or Gaviscon Double Strength tablets. Alternatively, ranitidine tablets could be used. These can be effective for treating rebound acid secretion. You can use these medicines to relieve the symptoms when they occur. Lansoprazole may interact with a few medications and herbal supplements, so check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting lansoprazole or before starting any new medicines.

Omeprazole is another commonly prescribed PPI.
By reducing the amount of acid that the stomach produces, lansoprazole helps to relieve the symptoms of indigestion. It prevents excess acid from flowing back into the oesophagus - relieving the painful heartburn symptoms associated with acid reflux. This allows the oesophagus to heal if it has been damaged by the acid. This depends on which condition the medicine is treating.
If you have heartburn or indigestion you should feel relief straight away or at least in the first few days of your course. For other conditions, such as a peptic ulcer, it may take weeks to feel the benefits of the treatment. Lansoprazole is usually taken once a day, first thing in the morning. Lansoprazole is taken orally, and comes in the form of a tablet, orodispersible tablet, capsule or liquid that you can swallow.
Do not crush, break or chew the tablets or capsules - take them whole with a glass of water. Liquid lansoprazole comes with a syringe or spoon to help you take the right amount. Orodispersible tablets should be placed on the tongue, allowed to disperse and swallowed, or swallowed whole with a glass of water.
Alternatively, tablets can be dispersed in a small amount of water and administered by an oral syringe or nasogastric tube. If you feel like the lansoprazole is not having the desired effect, speak to your GP.
