Having Gastritis. On Zantac And Omeprazol. Can I Take Tylenol For My Pain?

default
Posted on Wed, 6 Nov 2013
Question: I have gastritis because of one month of corticosteroids. I am in so much pain and gave lost 20lbs. I started taking zantac first and am now taking both zantac and omeprazol. I have had many dr visits and do not have h pylori ect. I have chronic duodinitis villitis. I think that is correct. How long until I can see some relief? Can I take tylenol for my pain?

Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Gastritis or duodenitis is a kind of stomach wound. It needs to take some time for this wound to get healed. And the healing is impeded by constant irritation by stomach acid, food and medicines. That is why such "wound" can heal even 2 weeks.
During that time you may feel symptoms like abdominal pain, chest burning, nausea.
Yes, you can take Tylenol. It does not affect stomach.
You should also have gastroscopy after a month of treatment.

Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.

Thank you! I'm needing 1 tylenol per day in the morning to help my anxiety from the pain. Is this amount harmful to my liver?

Brief Answer:
1 Tylenol is fine.

Detailed Answer:
1 Tylenol is fine and should not affect your liver at all. To destroy the liver it is necessary to take about 20-30 Tylenols at once.
