Ache In Stomach

[Jen2248 31]

FOr the last three days I have had this ache in my stomach, don't know what it is! Could something be stuck? It's not like the usual when something gets stuck in chest feeling it's actually my stomach. Any ideas?

Heartburn maybe?

[Jen2248 31]

No it's down lower like a stomach ache but has lasted for three days now. Aches more when I drink or eat

ummm. Maybe it's a traffic jam? Everything "flowing through" as it should?

I am still amazed that everyone is not on an acid blocker of some sort! I am on Prilosec for the rest of my life.

I was given prilosec at the hospital and a RX for it and I take it everyday. They said I will have to for the rest of my life. I am also shocked to hear you guys weren't.

I take Pepcid but doc said only for 6 months cuz I have a fundoplication. I thought the sleeve patients were the only ones that had to take acid reducers forever?

Same. I was also put on protonix and ulcer meds. It was an ache in my sternum that got way worse when I ate or drank and got bad enough that I wasn't eating

One of the main reasons I had this surgery is because it is supposed to get rid of reflux. Doc said I will be off dexilant (for reflux - proton pump inhibitor) within 2 months and that I shouldnt have to ever take acid reducers. As for your problem, I had the same problem. Doc said I had an irritated stomach and to stop my supplements for 2 days and take my reflux meds (u could try the.prilosec its otc) and go back to Clear Liquids. After 2 days resume supplements and diet. It worked like a charm. Good luck, I hope you feel better.

My doctor put me on Prilosec and said I would have to take it for the rest of my life. I have very little gas and if I do a short walk takes care of that
