Good Morning All!
I originally took the Carafate to coat my stomach and Esophagus for the Barrett's Esophagus but later noticed that it seemed to be helping my bladder when I take meds that usually bother it. So since then I've taken it with those meds.
As for the Metanx......I guess in a few weeks after I get the bladder surgery situation settled down I'll try it and see what happens. My insurance does cover it......at $25 a month so not sure that's cheaper than buying the stuff individually....like Glennj mentioned.
I swear it's trial and error so much of the time it seems.......it drives me crazy! LOL Hugs to all!
