Hi Wiix,

I must suggest you check in with your doctor about taking Zantac in any pattern which differs from your doctors instructions.

None of these G.I. meds, like other meds, are benign. They all have some side-effects, interactions, risks. Often, the goal is to use them for a limited amount of time, long enough to heal erosions, ulcers, etc. Your doctor is aware of the projected time-frame in your individual case.

It's very important to try to sort out if anything you do (eating patterns) or anything you eat or drink is contributing to difficulties/discomfort.

The sooner you can heal the irritation/erosions, those you saw in the pictures of your stomach lining, the better.

This must be very frustrating for you.

I hope we are helping in some way.
