[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 619823, member: 1233"] Don't you just hate that what fixes one problem is often the exact thing that causes another? I am sorry you are hurting so much. Don't mess with the various problems with-o talking to the doctor. Is the doctor aware of how much the kidney stone medications will aggravate your ulcers? Have they figured out the cause of your ulcers? While most ulcers are caused by h. pylori bacteria, there are some caused by other things such as medications, etc.... I know because every doctor I have ever seen wants to give me antibiotics for my ulcers, but mine have been tested many times over the years and are NOT caused by the bacteria so the antibiotics just create other havoc including being so hard on my stomach that the ulcers get much worse (RARE problem). I often end up insisting that the docs just go and talk to each other because my stomach doctor is adamant that i avoid the ulcer antibiotics. If the doctor who gave you kidney medications does not know about the ulcers, call and make sure he does know and still thinks the medications are the best course of action. Maybe taking prevacid (lansoprozole - OTC) could help IF it won't interact wtih the other medications. I hope something helps. IF nothing else, can't they use ultrasound or some other procedure to break the stones up? An uncle said it was amazing how much that helped. (((((hugs))))) [/QUOTE]
