Anybody take omeprazole for acid reflux/indigestion, or hiatal hernia....Did anything interesting happen with your appetite?:flowerforyou:

I took it for awhile for those very reasons. I didn't have much of an appetite at all, and often would get nauseated a few hours after eating. My GI specialist thought it might have been because I was digesting super slow and the food was starting to spoil before I finished digesting it.

We give omeprazole to horses as well, and it improves their appetites! :happy: Does that count?

I've been on it for a long time. No side effects, thankfully!

I've been it for years and haven't noticed any side effects. Hopefully with losing weight I can stop taking it soon!

I have taken this for months on end, it did absolutely nothing bad for me. All it did was calm the constant heartburn (like it should!)

I am happy to say that 20 lbs lighter, I haven't taken a pill in months. It might be a slight change in diet, it might be less fat surrounding the problem area, whatever the reason, my reflux has next to stopped and I am happy about that for sure!

My husband took the pill did not help with the heartburn but did cause him to have horrible dandruff.

I've taken it for years. Only thing I've noticed is that if I miss it for a day or two, it feels like someone's punched me in the stomach.

I was taking it about a year and a half ago for a while and it was making me have bad stomach pains, which were comparable to my stomach ulcer pain. My GI doctor ended up doing another endoscopy to see if I was bleeding anymore.. he found nothing but he said it was due to the medicine. So now I am taking dexilant and it works wounderful!! I feel perfectly fine on it! If I forget to take it for a day or two I notice it right away, I get stomach pain back really bad. I would definalty suggest it to anyone! Hope this helps you!!
