Do you have a fill dr. nearby? You probably need some Fluid taken out, also try an acid reducer for reflux, don't eat anything before going to bed, and try to ingest only fluids for next two days and see if that helps. I'm not a doctor, just going by what I've been through.

I have this same problem occasionally. I switch to only Protein shakes for a couple of days (no real food) and it calms down on its own.

Hi Totallytater,

Thank you ! You would laugh at me if you saw me I have now got a cupoard full of the stuff I bought from the shops and hour ago :) I am hoping to do it for a week and now with a great supply of antacid tabs... The antacids are working well.... :tt1:

Thank you for your kind responce... xxx

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
