Help plz Acid blocker

Do any1 know where I could purchase OTC Acid blocker? I'm 13 months out and staying hungry even after I know I have had a fulfilling meal. Thanks in advance

When I spoke to my surgeon as well as my primary doctor, Gas-X seems to be the one of choice. This is OTC, and it's safe to use on a daily basis if needed.

CVS, Wahlgreens carry OTC Omeprazole, pepsin etc. This will help drastically.

Thanks for the response going now to purchase

Target also carries it OTC. Cost is not that bad for a 3 month supply. I find I still need to take 1 20 mg dose daily, even at almost 2 years out. I will be reminded by sleeve if I forget.

Just a question to those taking the acid reducers, are you having reflux or taking it to keep your hunger level down?

I had acid reflux.

I get reflux at night and take a Nexium at bedtime. However, I had reflux before VSG too. I have also found a Tbsp on organic apple cider vinegar in my first glass of Water in the morning helps a lot with reflux. Takes a bit of getting used to but it adds to your gut's population of good bacteria apparently. Seems counterintuitive but it has helped me.

FYI Gas x does nothing for acid. Helps with gas pains and gas on the bottom side. But you need a PPI for acid. I hear Prevacid is a good OTC one. But I just called my PCP and got a 3 month supply of Nexium. That's the best. If you know anybody in Mexico they can send you some pantozol you don't need a script there it's the same as Nexium. Works good. Also get the B Vitamin injections if you can. They are cheap and you give yourself an injection once a month. If your close to the border it's worth it. Or if you're on your way there for surgery pick that stuff up before heading home. Your Dr. Will help you.

There are a lot of OTC acid reducers you just have to find what works for you personally. I started with Prilosec and it didn't seem to help. I was still getting hunger and pains. I switched to Pepcid AC and its worked great for me. I take 20 mg twice a day and don't get those horrible hunger pains or the stabbing pains I was getting before. Just try different ones and you will find one that works for you.
