startingmyjourney 2 Posted April 24, 2012 Omg. Everything gives me heartburn! I was only given prevacid for a month and even then I would suffer heartburn a bit. Now that I'm off I constantly have hb. So annoying. Any suggestions? I took a pill just now that a friend gave to me (Prevacid) I ate a bite of banana. Drank Water. Idk what else to do Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThisTimeIsIt 71 Posted April 24, 2012 The only thing that works for me is brand ranitidine - I was on 300 my a day before surgery - had really bad heart burn constantly. And I have had two days since where I had to take it since surgery but only 150 mg. Noticed if I eat anything higher in sugar content I get heartburn Hope u find something that works for you!
