Hello Think Fast,

I am very sorry for what you are going through. I am pretty new here myself, but I find that after (or even during) a course of antibiotics - my heartburn is very very severe. Currently I am in the middle of a Z-Pack, and even with Pepcid the heatburn and acid are TERRIBLE. It usually last 2 to 3 weeks after I stop taking it... I get the same type of acid and burning when I take a multi-vitamin. I think for some people these types of medications and supplements can be hard on the stomach.

Though I must admit I have lately developed a problem with acid and GERD and it never goes away.

Hope yours does soon -- and good luck with your health.

Vanessa,
Thanks very much for your reply. I have taken Zpacks several times and never had acid reflux. But that Metronidazole certainly was a doozy! If your reaction to the z pack was like mine to the Metronidazole, I know what you went through. I'll have to buy some yogurt and see if that helps! I have heard of others lately who are bothered by multivitamins, too. Of all things, you'd think they would be good for you!

I hope your situation improves. These boards certainly are great for finding very good information in between doctor visits!
