Fifty Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 PPI = Proton pump inhibitors, I had them for a little while earlier this year as I suffer with IBS and acid reflux too. Those things are lethal, have you read what side effects those buggers have?? I came off those a bit quick and now take 2 x Ranitidine a day. They only reduce acid rather then stop it completely. After all the stomach creates acid for a reason. I also have 1 actimel every morning and they do work a treat. Whhhhatttt ! I have no side effects - I dont think although my hair is falling out - hang on it was before (phew) lol well see all I know is I can sleep without battery acid burning holes in me then again Im getting old; do you think it might be the fags and black coffee:tongue: Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_S Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 great news. I never bother with the actimel stuff cos its a bit expensive. but I'm glad to hear it does good and isn't just a rip off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keancy Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Whhhhatttt ! I have no side effects - I dont think although my hair is falling out - hang on it was before (phew) lol well see all I know is I can sleep without battery acid burning holes in me then again Im getting old; do you think it might be the fags and black coffee:tongue: Rich Well I have to admit to fags and (white) coffee too but I wouldn't take those again. If your happy enjoy mate. The most common Side effects are diarrhoea, feeling or being sick, constipation, wind, abdominal pain and headaches. Very rarely they can also cause allergic reactions, itching, dizziness, swollen ankles, muscle and joint pain, blurred vision, depression and a dry mouth. A problem that can occur with long-term use of proton pump inhibitors is stomach infections. Stomach acid helps to kill microscopic organisms (mircrobes) such as bacteria in the stomach. Because proton pump inhibitors completely stop acid production using them can lead to a growth of microbes in the stomach. /vbb/images/smilies/bbcode_shock.gif thats the one i drink yummy yummy yum:d Me 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Jazzster - you should approach Danone and offer to be one of the people they use on the adverts. "My poo used to be runny but Actimel cured me...." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbonut Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Actually fellah, its far cheaper to go to holland and barratt and buy Acidpophallus as a supplement, more concentrated in tablet form too. More happy bacteria These should last you a month: http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/product_detail.asp?pid=753 Theyre very knowledgeable in there too Lxxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kranz Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Now hold on a cotton picking minute..... If those acid pump inhibitor tablets say that stomach acid kills off bacteria, and these expensive but very fashionable little drinkies contain 'good' bacteria, then surely stomach acid will kill off the bacteria and you'll be no better off than if you didn't drink it?? Or am I missing something? Are Actimel acid resistant??? I know that some Lactobacillus Acidophillus (LOL at Linda's AcidoPHALLUS comment!! Something on your mind Linda??) in tablet form are killed off by stomach acid (cos my mum says so & she's a teacher). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
