So much acid. Not sleeping.

[frozengrapes 50]

I am already taking 40mg nexium each day, but the acid is constant day and night and keeping me awake. I just started pureed foods yesterday.

Help!

What is your surgeon saying about this?

Did you have problems with acid prior to surgery ?

I've never tried Nexium as I've always been really well served by chewable Pepcid. I'm lucky, I suppose. Those things are excellent relief for me.

Maybe there is another med that your surgeon could suggest.

Many different meds to try. I take omeprazole (Prilosec) and it works for me, but my husband needs omeprazole bicarbonate (Zegerid).

Yes, I have trouble with acid especially a few months before surgery.

No over the counter meds work for me.

The dr gave me another script but that helped less than the Nexium

Sorry to hear that. For me, although I did not have GERD pre op, post op I suffered really badly from acid. It would get worse for me at each food phase change.

I was on Rabeprazole, that did not help me at all. Pantoprazole did not help either.

When I switched to Nexium 40mg, it took few days to work, but then it finally got rid of my acid reflux.

How long have you been on Nexium?

Have you spoken with your surgeon about it?

All I can say is that now, 6 months later, I am slowly weaning myself of Nexium, and so far the acid has not come back.

I wish you all the best, and hope that you get better soon!
