Q: How long to use Carafate for bile reflux b4 my symptms of gnawing pain & inability to eat go away?
Carafate coats the stomach lining and can frequently help with symptoms rather quickly. If however, you have been taking it for a while and are not getting relief, you should see your doctor to discuss your symptoms both on and off the carafate. Together you can figure out if there is a better plan of action for you.
