Antacids - Need Something Different

[barrbdoll 287]

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!

I used Zantac 175's OTC and they worked great!

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~!!!

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???
