hopeliveshere 294 Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Im not sure whats going on here but the past few days ive been having pretty bad heartburn, nothing seems to be helping, ive been taking prilosec and tums I also have what i can only describe as a sour/queasy/uncomfortable stomach thats really annoying. it almost feels like when i drink certain things (coffee/tea/iced coffee) that the lining of my stomach is burning. not in one particular area, just all around burning. any thoughts on what this could be? editing to say that i am 7 months out if that makes a difference. it doesnt only happen with coffee/tea. it can feel sour just over nothing and it just started about a week ago.

BeagleLover 1,020 Posted June 13, 2014 Caffeine may be the culprit. It causes your stomach to produce more hydrochloric acid. Try Decaf.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCsMamaBear 58 Posted June 13, 2014 My nut said that coffee, regardless of caffeine content, is acidic and to avoid it for a period of time because of that. Stick with the Decaf tea and see if that helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stick with the Decaf tea and see if that helps. thank you for response. im not sure i worded my post correctly to get my point across. im 7 months out and this just started. if it was b/c of caffeine, wouldnt it have been happening all along?

azcharms 0 Posted June 19, 2014 sounds like something I have too. Except im burping a lot. Feels like my stomach is full with pressure and lots of pain. Scared to eat or drink. I had surgery sept.2011 almost 3 years ago and it just stated last week. the first time lasted 3 days. I chewed several Pepcid Complete. then after 4 days it came back. feels like a knife going thru me when I eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
