OMG please tell me it's normal and will go away...

The past couple of days I have had a horrible sour stomach. I have tried pepto and recieved no relief with it. On top of dealing with that I am dealing with acid reflux again. I was just getting over it when I went into the hospital. While I was there it came back twice as bad as it was before. Now my teeth feel yucky all the time. Like I haven't brushed them in weeks. When in fact I just got finished brushing them. I don't know if this is normal I just want to know will it go away? And what in the world can I do to get rid of this sour stomach?

Are you taking an acid reducer?

If you not taking a ppi you should talk with your doc to see if he can get you on one..

yep, yep, yep -- gotta agree with everyone -- PPI is the way to go -- like Prevacid or Nexium. Feel better!

I can't help you with the sour stomach (but from reading others experiences, I think it is normal and can be controlled with a PPI), but I can answer the fuzzy teeth thing. OMG. I hated that. It is a mixture of being in ketosis (your body burning fat) and doing Protein Shakes, and IT WILL IMPROVE. When your diet becomes more varied, it will gradually disappear. I found that breath mints were my new friends that traveled with me everywhere.

I am on a ppi "nexium" it works wonderful I just wake up with the tast of acid in my mouth. On top of my teeth feeling nasty it's not a good combo.. Today however the heartburn has been horrible. Sour stomach as well. I want it to all hurry up and become a memory not a big part of my life on a daily basis..

You could take some Maalox too chewables in between. I find that helps. You may also need a higher dose. I would encourage you to talk to your doctor and be blunt about how bad it is. I had the same issues and had to go to a higher dose and I added Carafate 4 times a day as well. If your PPI is in the form of a capsule, change to a tablet. This is huge.

Make sure you don't eat a couple of hours before bed and if you can handle it, elevate your upper body while you sleep. Foods to avoid: anything with a Tomato base/sauce, high fat, citrus of any kind, sugar, coffee. If you are a milk drinker, switch to lactose free.

hang in there!
