Does Amoxicillin Cause Digestive Issues?

previously on Nexium and Prilosec for 13 yrs. I m 62 and my doctor said to take LANSOPRAZOLE. I read after being on it for 2 yrs that one of main ingredients is Amoxicillin. Long term use of an antibiotic cant be good for my gut. Dad had Crohn s, Mom and sis GERD like me . Currently doing antacids after each meal and occasional Baking soda mix but have the discomfort everymeal THANK YOU for any ideas !! Gary

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Lansoprazole is a proton pump inhibitor and it does not contain any antibiotic including amoxicillin. Lansoprazole works by reducing stomach acid production and is very good in treating Gastroesophageal reflux disease. Please continue the medication as prescribed.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
