Beth Ann 5 Posted February 24, 2018 I actually have pills and liquid form. The pills dissolve very easy. 1 Jessibird reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessibird 32 Posted February 24, 2018 I was worried about the big carafate pill. I have only tolerated small pills but the liquid carafate taste awful. The pill wasn't too bad. I didn't go down easy but it did seem to dissolve pretty quickly so it didn't really get stuck. I just need to make sure I am taking it with lots of Water.

Savagegirl 97 Posted February 24, 2018 I’ve been hospitalized twice with ulcers since my May 2017 bypass. One was about 12 days after surgery and i was in hospital for 4 nights. Second time was about 5-6 weeks ago and i was in overnight. No h pylori, no NAISDs, no smoking. Just ulcers at the connection sites (anastomoses). I was on carafate the first time and this time Protonix twice a day for another month, then once a day forever I guess. I just had lots of blood in stool both times as my sign. No pain. My heart would race and I’d feel very faint when i stood up.Glad you are home and recovering! 1 1 FluffyChix and Jessibird reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beth Ann 5 Posted February 24, 2018 Wow! I don’t have h pylori as well no NSAIDs no smoking no coffee or caffeine either! I really hope this is not a re curring thing!! I was on protonix after surgery for 30 days and still developed the ulcer. I have another endoscopy on March 19. I’m hoping all healed! Thanks everyone for sharing. 2 FluffyChix and Jessibird reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
