Remedy for heartburn from antibiotics?
My dad recently had prostate surgery and has been taken antibiotics for about a week now. Unfortunately they are giving him a lot of heartburn. The over the counter stuff isn't working ( zantac, maalox, tums). We called the doctor and they say he needs to take for 2 more days and weren't really helpful in any suggestions to help other than chase it with food.
Any suggestions on what else he can try for the heartburn?
Can you fail a drug test for soma (Carisoprodol)?

Have you tried taking pro-biotics to counter what the antibiotics are doing to his body? Taking good pro-biotics (go to your local health food store and ask the specialists there for the best kind) will replace the good bacteria that was destroyed by the antibiotics. This may help the heartburn lessen. If it's not the answer, it won't be a waste of time as putting good bacteria back into the body is very good for digestion! Also, if you choose to go this route, take them 3 hours after taking anti-biotics so that they do not get killed too soon after taking the anti-biotics or don't have enough time to replenish his system.
