First Meal Where My Stomach Has Felt Normal!

[upwardfocusedgirl 33]

I'm 3.5 weeks out and pretty much had gotten used to the odd feelings associated with eating. However, I just ate some tilapia and mashed potatoes and not one twinge, gurgle or anything! I assumed I'd have the discomfort for a while when I eat and drink. It feels good to feel normal!

I'm 10-weeks out and still get the bubbly feeling. Sometimes it goes on all day....it's begining to drive me nuts!

I'm wondering if the Protonics I'm taking had anything to do with it. I forgot to take my pill in the morning so I took it before lunch. My stomach was kind of upset in the afternoon but by dinner it was fine, perfect actually. Are you taking anything for acid Cheles?

I'm 5 months out and the loud stomach noises still exist when having a meal. It's just a normal digestion sound to me now. when i'm really hungry and with other people i will take a small sip of Water a few minutes before I eat so the noise is not so loud.

I've had gurgling up until recently, when it's finally tapered off a bit. I still get it on occasion, incluing the lovely sounds that accompay it! :-) I'm also finally off the prilosec so I'm not sure if that's contributed to less gurgling. But I do recall the first few months I would even comment: "let the gurgling begin!"

For me I think it is the acid controlling meds that are helping. I have been taking my pill at different times and with different food or drink for the past couple of days and I can tell the difference in the way my stomach feels and sounds. Maybe I need to take it twice a day and I can avoid the discomfort and sounds all together. I think I'll call the doctor and get his opinion!
