How to eat after a stuck- would love some adivoce!

[Sojourner 2,446]

I developed gastritis after 4 taking doses of liquid NASIDS, 2 taken in

December, and 2 the following February. I took the medication with my surgeon's permission. The side effects were painful, and I never want to experience that again. It required a 2 month regimen of medication to recover.

I was advised that if I got anything stuck, I was to return to a total liquid diet for the rest of that day, and the following day only eat those foods which have a lower risk for getting stuck. And remember the rules about chewing.

After a stuck episode, the pouch is understandably irritated and needs a rest with a liquid diet. I rarely got anything stuck, but I felt better just on liquids for a day.

I conduct a cost/risk benefit analysis when it comes to medical related decisions. I would much rather be conservative with liquids, than risk any possible complications later.

Other's mileage on the topic does vary...

As I've posted before(and with links) Nsaids cause the lining in our stomach to breakdown, making ulcers easier to develop. This is caused by the drug being absorbed into our blood stream. So, pills or liquids are both just as dangerous.

Exactly what my doctor told me..... At one point, after he did a TNE, said that I could take ONE Advil, once in awhile....if I absolutely needed it. I asked him about liquid, and he said there is no difference when it comes to the band. He ALSO said that if I'm going to take an Advil, to take Pepcid or Prilosec as well.
