I took Protonix several years ago after trying every other prescription and OTC medication imaginable without much needed relief. My experience with Protonix was a GREAT success. At night before slept I fasted a few hours before going to bed and still took Zantac before sleep but even with Zantac and fasting the other medications were ineffective. Like others who commented on Protonix I truly believe it saved my life. I am now (fortunately) back to eating a normal Italian diet of foods with tomato, onion, garlic, all sorts of peppers, cheese, fried foods and even wine. Also like others who commented, I did experience a lot of gas while taking it but it was a small price to pay for the relief and ultimately getting my life back to normal. I wish you luck!

When I take protonix it feels like somebody punched me in the stomach. The same thing happens with Prilosec. dont get heartburn but it hurts all the time. I was just diagnosed with hiatal hernia and inflamed esophagus with a slight stricture and gastritis. So obviously I need to take something. People have said carafate is good.

I see GI doctor in 2 months but I will probably sto taking the protonix before that because of the pain.

I have been on Protonix for over 10 years, and I don't know what I'd do without it! My Dr tried me on all of the other ones (Zantac, Nexium, Prilosec), but none of them worked, or had unacceptable side-effects. Before Protonix, I would get a pain that felt like a hot spear going into my sternum, and out my back...when it first happened my Dr sent me to the ER, and they all thought I was ...

I have been on Protonix for over 10 years, and I don't know what I'd do without it! My Dr tried me on all of the other ones (Zantac, Nexium, Prilosec), but none of them worked, or had unacceptable side-effects. Before Protonix, I would get a pain that felt like a hot spear going into my sternum, and out my back...when it first happened my Dr sent me to the ER, and they all thought I was having a heart attack: the pain is so severe, it's debilitating. I would have to pull off to the side of the road if I was driving. The only thing that helped, was sipping really cold water...continuously, until the pain subsided. But...you can't always have really cold water with you! (Although I never leave the house without a bottle of cold water, because I do still get some discomfort a few times a month---but nothing like before). My mother had the same problem, and wound up with esopageal erosion (as did I before Protonix), and, eventually...stomach cancer. She never took anything but Gaviscon for it. I thank the Lord for this medication...my quality of life would be just terrible without it...I used to be afraid to not be near a source of cold water!
