What can I take? I'm 6 weeks post op and this acid is preventing me from keeping the food or liquid down, going to doctors later on today to see what I can take but does anyone know if tuna or anything works?

My Dr has had me on a proton pump inhibitor since surgery, it helps protect the new stomach (pouch) and keeps the heartburn at bay. food causes heartburn so eating different food will probably not help. I also used zofran - an anti-nausea medication - for the 6 weeks to help with nausea - which was unrelentling in the beginning. I also took Tums after every meal not only for Calcium but it helps make the food stay down. I'm sure your Dr will be able to help

Call MD and ask for wither Protonix or Prilosec once a day 40 mg. Most of us are on these for 3 months post op.

My surgeon prescribed Prilosec and Actigall for his patients to prevent ulcers and gallstones. You can buy Prilosec over the counter if you like.
