I have noticed that my digestion has slowed lately,  and by this my bowel movements has also slowed. It seems by this that my acid or bile problem increases. Anybody have this happen to them, and what did you use to remedy.

    Digestion

    Hello,

     

    My deal is a little different from what you're describing.  My digestion is always slow.  I take reglan to help move food through.  I've also started taking erythromycin daily to help clear out my stomach, and that seems to be working. Acid is always a concern for me, so protonix is a two a day med.  Hope this offers something for you.
