I do find that taking maximum amounts of Ranitidine, liquid Senakot and Lactulose regularly has helped a lot with the constipation and GERD but if I have even a day off then I pay big time with the bowel issues you describe.
Thanks Matt. Sorry you too have stomach trouble. It's tough going. Thankfully I've had respite the past few days, I'm so relieved. I can't take senokot or anything like that, have too much of a rapid emptying problem and go every two days so don't feel like constipation is too much of the problem.
