#1 DonnaDB. Hi,Unfortunately, I was dumb enough to take an anti-inflammatory drug for about a week and it seems to have EATEN A WHOLE in my gut!!! I had this problem once before and went to ER where I was given a GI cocktail. It is a mixture of lidocaine of some sort along with maalox and a few other things.

The GI cocktail-a mixture of liquid antacid, viscous lidocaine, and often an anticholinergic agent-is frequently used as a diagnostic tool in emergency care to separate ischemic chest pain from dyspepsia. The theory is that if the pain is relieved, the patient isn't having a heart attack. However, in a retrospective study of a three-month period at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, researchers found the cocktail was being served a bit too freely.
