Horrible Stomach Acid



Recommended Posts

I have had such horrible stomach acid, they r doing a variety of tests most recently an ultersound. I am on a couple of different acid pills.

I have such horrible pains that start right by my breast bone and it stings, I can't breath and I get horrible cold sweats.

Has anyone else has these symptoms?

I d heard strictures can cause that. I hope that isn't it. Has your doctor looked into that? I truly hope they figure it out quickly for you and you are feeling better very soon!

Not sure how far out you are from surgery, but I had very bad stomach acid for awhile after surgery. I have GERD so they said the stomach acid could increase for awhile after surgery. I am 11 weeks out and the excess acid is gone. I am still on prevacid though.

What you are describing sounds like you may be eating or drinking too fast or possibly too much. I got alot of severe pain just underneath my breast bone whenever I ate or drank too much, too fast or ate and drank at the same time. I would also get very nauseous and had cold sweats. I also vommitted a couple of times. It is better now since I learned to never eat and drink at the same time and ate/drank slowly.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

Hey guys thank so much for your respond! After the results came back I was told that I have gull bladder stones! I will be having surgery to get that removed!

My doctor told me this can happen after a person loses alot of weight! I am about 6.5 months out from my surgery! If anyone else has these pains my suggestion would be to get check out just in case before it gets worse!

It's not the same thing... He didn't relate them however it was the only way I could describe my pain until we figured out what was going on.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
