What Causes Chronic Fever, Stomach Pain And Shivering While On Rabeprazole?
Question: Hello Doc,
I am suffering from chronic fever, stomach pain and shivering. I have taken thyroid test and its negative. I have no cholesterol. The doctors saying its acidity problem. I am taking cyra rabeprazole for acidity and lanol for fever. I have low hemoglobin so I take dexorange syrup everyday. When ever I take medication the problem seems to be alleviated. After two days again back to square one. I have been visiting doctors but I am not getting any solution for the problem. Do I have to completely avoid pulses, lentils and acidic food. Can you help me what kind of diet changes do I have to make to avoid this problem.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards, XXXXXXX

Brief Answer:
continue with the antacids.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that your symptoms can be due to gastritis.
Since you are taking iron supplement (Dexorange), it can cause abdominal discomfort in some persons. Hence your symptoms are aggravated after taking the medication.
I would suggest that you should continue with the antacid Rabeprazole, that you are taking.
Usually the abdominal discomfort subsides in few days to weeks of starting the iron supplement. If the symptoms persists, you should consult your treating doctor to substitute the medicine with another compound of iron.
You can also take natural iron rich foods like spinach, pomegranate, jaggery, green leafy vegetables.
You do not need to completely stop taking pulses, etc.
Following precautions will be helpful :-
1.Avoid spicy and oily foods.
2.Avoid being empty stomach for long periods.
3.Avoid smoking and alcohol, if any.
4.Drink lots of water daily.
5.Eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
