Acid indigestion? Maybe? Help...

[angelface811 100]

Hello everybody thank you for taking your precious time to read my posts. I am 4 months out of having laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery and in the last 2 days have had at times an icky taste in my mouth as well as a feeling of acid indigestion and mild tummy pain. I am on Prevacid once per day. I also have to take Miralax every day to stay regular. I am currently eating between 800-900 calories per day and 75-85 grams of Protein and hydrating very well. Could it simply be acid indigestion? Anyone else experience this? Any input is welcomed...

I had acid reflux several times before surgery and the problem was getting worse with time. Since surgery the problem went away. For the first year, I was prescribed Omeprazole to aid my stomach healing. That is the same produce that is used for acid reflux. I have been off Omeprazole for about 4 months now and have not experienced any acid reflux.

Dumping syndrome seems very close to the effects of acid reflux. If I eat too much at a time, it can lead to dumping syndrome.
