Unhappy

No, I seldom eat a mint, almost never. I do take Tums but sparingly, only when heartburn come on me quickly. I got into trouble eating too many Tums. My blood calcium level went so high I almost died. They put me in hospital for 2 weeks. I don't remember it, it was scary. I was hallucinating my brains out.

Can't have cinnamon. It really bothers my stomach.

Do they still make Librax? I had that for a while years ago. That stuff is like magic.

This is one area in my body that is in good condition. I take Daily, super digestive enzymes, 30million probiotics and DGL for stomach lining protection....I take ibuprofen and keeping my stomach healthy is so critical. I ended up in the ER years ago with an ulcer so I know DGL after all my research saves people with reflux, gerd and heartburn. It's otc supplement and I share it when I can with others. I've not had the 3 issues but dealt with an ulcer yrs ago from a pharma anti inflammatory med. I've heard others talk about bitters and charcoal but the above works for me.

I just got an RX for this about a year ago. I only use it for drastic symptoms. (I have malrotation of the GI tract).
I agree it is the best-- and over my long life I have taken everything

I use OTC Imodium now more often, and save the Librax for bad times. I am not seeing it on FDA.gov Orange book.
A generic house bought the brand name and changed the formula a while back, but I like the older generic better.
I am not seeing that Librax brand on FDA site either.
(I can't get the FDA site to do anything for me today-- I wonder if it is down)

This is what was in the new branded Librax...
http://www.drugs.com/cdi/chlordiazep...opolamine.html
It appears to be discontinued.

I sure hope my generic is still around...it works like a charm.
However this search says FDA not approved?
http://www.drugs.com/search.php?sear...Fclidinium&a=1

This is making me very angry... another stupid move by the FDA?

So I found a recent generic list on the FDA site in another place...
http://www.fda.gov/downloads/aboutfd.../ucm183605.pdf
generic librax appears on this list from Valeant

So this leads me to this:
http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed...6-4da1d72b061c

I guess I have to call Walgreen's.

Oops, I got my millions and billions mixed up on the probiotics....I now take Healthy Origins 30Billion CFU's one daily usually. I took Now Foods 8Billion a couple a day for a long time.

And for sure these are needed if one takes abx drugs.

Just thought about this too, working with a little dose of baking soda in distilled water when the stomach is uneasy can do wonders. I told this to two friends and they got instant releif, they didn't know about the baking soda remedy. I use baking soda in my coffee grounds for my two cups of daily coffee and it cuts the acid big time. Too much acid can cause a lot of issues....even adding a little baking soda to high acidic foods help... I like Red Mill baking soda as it's more pure vs other stuff with aluminum. When my stomach feels a little off, I go to the baking soda immediately.

Thumbs up

Some drugs are still made but not available in certain countries. I'd really like to get some Librax.
