OTC drugs to combat upset stomach and chemo

Hello all,

I enjoyed participating in the chat room for a few minutes the other night with some of you! I find inspiration and advice daily on this forum for my mother and I continue to pray for all of you battling lung cancer.

I have a question for anyone who has undergone chemo and has had an upset stomach afterwards. My mom is having a very difficult time eating--she doesn't necessarily have nausea but she says she feels like her stomach has a knot in it all the time and it's very difficult to want to eat, much less eat anything solid. No appetite ever but she is managing to force down smoothies and shakes recently while barely maintaining her weight.

Does anyone take anything like Prilosec or Zantac to combat this kind of thing? Her nurse told her to tray Prilosec but just wanted to see if anyone else had any magic they have discovered.

Again, thank you so much and I hope to hear from someone :)

Nancy
