After taking this medicine for a week, I started having constipation despite Miralax every night, high fiber diet + 8 glasses of water/day. Finally had to quit b/c it "paralyzed" my colon and I was unable to have a bm. It took 3 days of Milk of Magnesia and another week before I was able to go - then developed crampy diarrhea. I will NEVER use Carafate again!!!!

Prescribed for acid reflux.. I dissolve in a bit of water and swallow and immediately feel like I am going to vomit. It causes bloating and constipation so I am more miserable than I was before starting this med. I am allergic to all proton pump inhibitors so I do not have a lot of options but I cannot tolerate the side effects so I am stopping this medication.
