Horrible Acid Reflux

[Izzy0525 14]

What have you guys found to work best for you? I haven't been able to sleep much the last two days

Try some Maalox before bed.. It coats your stomach and my Dr. recommended it. It definitely helps. I still battle with acid reflux here and there. I switched from Nexium to Zantac 150 and I feel a slight difference.. I'm still trying to figure out what my trigger foods are. Also, increase your Water take if possible. I wasn't getting enough water in (It's HARD) and I think they may also have been an issue. I am still learning how to deal with the acid and heartburn. It's not bad.. just bothersome at times...

Good Luck!

I will be 4 weeks post op this Thursday and still have to take acid reflux daily. I take one omeprazole every day (cut in half with a pill slicer) which seems to help after you've taken it for several days in a row. And I swallow a few teaspoon fulls of Gaviscon before bed a few times a week. Gaviscon is the best!! Doesn't taste very good going down, but it lasts through the night. I still can't seem to drink orange juice or eat super citrus-acidic foods...those seem to bring on a tummy ache. But all in all, with the daily omeprazole at the very least, I feel pretty good!

I hope you start feeling better soon. Hang in there!
