What Causes Increase In Acidity After Taking Topiramate?
I always have a queasy stomach. Recently I cut back on Topirmate for migraine headache. also I take a prescription anti acid because my stomach creates too much acid I recently had this week diarrhea but now I am over it. We went out to dinner to celebrate Valentine Day but now my stomach is back to being queasy again.

Hi as you know more acid production causes gastritis. Medicines can further irrritate the stomach wall to cause more acide productiom. It's important to follow a strict diet in order to avoid such uncomfortable symptoms. Have a plant based diet as often as possible. Consume soft bland easily digestible food. Limit intake of fatty spicy food, alcohol and red meat. Take your antacid medication half an hour before food especially if you are going out to eat. Donot lie down immediately after a meal. Stress can also cause increased gastric acid production. Practice some relaxation exercises. All of these will help you with acidity in the long run. You can also ask you doctor about H.Pylori and if it's required to treat you for it. I hope this helps you. Take care :)
