Slooow Burn in my belly ... is this the acid issue everyone speaks of???

[Sunny702 2]

You're welcome Eddie!! I've never used Crystal Lite ... I usually use the generics. That being said what I started doing is using half a pack. I still get the flavor that I need ... because I really don't like plain Water. I haven't taken any meds & haven't had any burning for weeks. Not having that burn is the BEST feeling. As I'm sure you know since yours is gone too. :-)

I also recently discovered that my G2 was not helping my heartburn. Also, my Fuze Slenderizer drinks have malic acid (a milder form of citric acid). I stopped drinking both and taking Zantac 150mg twice a day, and that has helped! My acidy feeling has moved up from mid-chest to my throat; never felt it in my stomach. I hope that's a sign that the acid is going away. I hope you're all heartburn free when you read this!

Acid feelings in the throat are reflux. Reflux is when stomach acid is forced up into the esophagus; sleeve patients have a lot of problems with this and need to be very mindful of it. Constant or repeated reflux can actually lead to esophageal cancer (and other problems).

Definitely work on controlling your acid (and reflux) with omeprazole or some other acid blocker. You can also use situational antacids when you're still feeling the burn; omeprazole isn't a quick fix.
