Hello,

My script for Gastrocrom was raised this Spring after I had some shocking episodes.  Since that time, I have noticed more gi problems after drinking it, as well as increased ringing in my ears.  My recent gi exam came back pretty normal, so it is not masto and I am negative for celiac and other gi problems. I also seem to have more muscle aches and feel more fatique on this higher dose (200mg/3X daily)

I was just wondering if anyone else had noticed this when they take Gastrocrom?  I may have a bit of an intolerance that is aggrevated by a higher dose.

Additionally, I noticed that this current box of it is a different lot number, so wondering if that might have something to do with it.  My pharmacist gave me some of my old lot number (such a nice pharmacy, CVS, as they keep an extra box on hand for me in emergency). I am going to try using that and see if I have the same problem?

Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this, or any variation from lot -to-lot?  Trying to figure out if it is the masto, the Gastrocrom, or a different prep?

In the meantime, I have been told to try to gradually reduce it to see if that helps and I feel a little better.

Just wondering if anybody else has gone through this:?  We all tolerate medications differently, as you know.

Thanks!

Has anybody ever stopped taking Gastrocrom or reduced your dose?  How did you do when you tried it?

I am trying to cut mine down now.
