I have been on this medecine for one day.... my stomach is so bloated, I can hardly walk or move. I'm so nauseated and feel like throwing up. I am so constipated and have a lot of gas. From what I read of all the other people on this site... I think this must the side affects... what is the point of this medecine if it gives all these problems? Why does it say Rabeprazole Sodium under the name... "SODIUM!!" That is what is causing the bloat!! Hello!! I also saw my doctor distributing this medecine to everyone... are they trying to use us as guinea pigs??
