barrbdoll 287 Posted May 29, 2012 Hi All.. I was sleeved in April 16th and I have had a very easy recovery. Matter of fact, other than the amounts of food I can eat I don't even feel like I had surgery.... My question is this.... I get bouts of acid reflux or heartburn from time to time and I can't seem to narrow it down to a certain food. Sometimes I get it just by drinking Crystal Light or Gatorade G2. I was taking Nexium here and there but I think I may need something different. I keep Tumms on hand and they seem to work but I wanted to ask what everyone else was taking in the form of an antacid. Thanks for your input! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lilee84 648 Posted May 29, 2012 I used Zantac 175's OTC and they worked great! 1 barrbdoll reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Delta_35 129 Posted May 29, 2012 I am on my prevacid but am being switched to Nexum..I heard all them work different for everyone so it may take a few tries. My Nut said that one problem is Crystal Light..alot people get heartburn after surgery who drink it...so try to avoid it~!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
barrbdoll 287 Posted May 29, 2012 that is so odd. I never would have thought that Crystal Light would give me heartburn. As much as I try to drink my Water I need some flavor to get it all down. I've added Turkey Hill Diet Green Tea with Mango and have no issues. Maybe I will make my own iced tea and use some splenda to sweeten. Any recommendations on sugar free drinks or mixes???
