I’ve been on PPI on and off since august. I was on omeprazole and now on lansoprazole - I’ve got a med review next week before anyone says ‘see your GP’. Apart from the reflux symptoms not fully abating I seem to have really bad wind - some days I’m farting so much it’s grim - and if I’m out and can’t fart then it builds up into one massive one when I get to a loo and let a wet one rip.
I looked on the leaflet and wind is def a side effect. Poos are generally normal and I’m on a low acid diet - I try not to have excessive fibre which is hard when the diet recommends it. Wind is def worse in the evenings once I’ve eaten all the day’s food!!
Not quite sure where to go from here - try another ppi, come off ppi and stick to the diet, ask for more testing (had camera both ends and mri as they suspected ibd due to other symptoms and high calprotectin which came down to normal levels, but nothing found of note). It’s extremely frustrating.
I want to speak to the GP and get what I want out of the appt, not be fobbed off.
