[QUOTE="Mommayorkie, post: 938391, member: 37348"] Hi Karen. i am on lansoprazole,(same group of meds) , but was put on that in hospital after heart meds caused chronic indigestion..they kept me on it and added Gaviscon Advance at night for the acid reflux.......im sorry too bout the bananas. but was thinking... as the new tablets seem to have sorted the IBS symptoms that the metformin was causing,i might try the odd banana and see how it affects me. neither me nor jenny were happy with the bedtime results. she liked the food diary idea. she said the tablets i am on for diabetes now are at the highest dose she can give me so suggested another tablet that also had a sedative effect......to help tackle the bad nights. fine,i agreed to that.thinking she meant another diabetic tablet.....told me to cut out some carbs at night though not all as i need some. so off i went. left prescription at chemist and asked for it to be delivered on Thursday with other meds already ordered....went off to meet my daughter and her boyfriend for lunch.had chicken salad. same amount yu would get in sandwich.
