The compounded Carafate (bubblegum flavored) is very easy for our Bear to eat. He actually LIKES it.
Very good to know about not taking it with food -- we weren't told that, so it's very good to know. Makes perfect sense.
Bear is still doing well. I'm hoping the Carafate does not do anything to his kidneys, but I'm thinking that it's better for his kidneys for him to drink willingly instead of having to be forced.
I'm pretty sure that Bear had an ulcer. Omeprazole doesn't cure ulcers as far as I understand - it just helps prevent more by reducing acid. So, it doesn't surprise me that he's doing so much better now with the Carafate. Thanks again, everyone, for recommending it.
