Intigestion on Docetaxel

Hi Holly,

I went to my gp he was fantastic got some nexium, that stops the indigestion, can deal with the bloat but actually enos helps there a bit.

Hi Jen

I too had terrrible reflux/indigestion and bloating with docetaxel. I was given nexium that helped a lot. I also started sipping bundaberg sarsparilla and drinking licorice tea, it really helps to settle things down and is very soothing to the linings of gastrointestinal tract also. Plus it tastes ok if your tastebuds are all out of whack!

Goodluck :)

Thank you Kim.

Thank you Maryrose,

I will go to Doc's tomorrow for some, tried the gaviscon etc but its not strong enough.

Hi Jen. I had dreadful heartburn on FEC, so went back on Nexium. During that time I also used Eno, & that worked really well. I didn't find the Docetaxel so bad for the heartburn, maybe because I was taking Nexium.

I've more recently heard that fruit tingles work quite well, and occasionally lately have tried them with good effect for mild indigestion.

Take care, Lyn

Hi Jenni, 

I had terrible indigestion,  I took pantoprazol with good results.  Had bloating,  put up with that,  probably shouldn't have in hindsight.  Talk to your oncologist or oncology nurse,  they are a wealth of information.  Found that sucking ice whilst having the docetaxal stopped mouth ulcers. Good luck.  Sonya xx

Hi Jen,

I developed integestion on 4th Chemo cycle, which was my last, 4 weeks ago. I have been taking inerhealth plus for the last 3 weeks and it has nearly gone and so have all the other chemo side effects.

good luck

Hi jenny. I had indigestion during my chemo.i would let your oncologist know. I was given nexium and it worked a treat. Took it for a short period after chemo as well.

Take care ????
