male only Heart Burn!

I'm now six weeks post op and for some reason have developed a nasty case of heart burn.. Have not changed my diet for the past 3 weeks,,,

Anyone else out there dealing with this?

Anyone else out there dealing with this?

Sure. Comes with the territory. I just take either pepcid AC or if I want instant relief, some Tums. I figure the Tums gives me plenty of Calcium anyway.

Added note: whenever I lost a lot of weight in the past, the heartburn always went away.

I have been fortunate to not have any issues with reflux. Had it terrible pre-op. But I believe, for me, eating slower, chewing ridiculously well and waiting and evaluating how I feel in between bites has something to do with it. I no longer rush my meals as I did pre-op and I don't eat before bedtime, which used to always cause me problems.
