Question about Antacids 1 week Out
Sorry you're going through this. It's no fun!
I had bad reflux post-op and was told Tums were OK - to take as needed. And that was one week post-op. (this was also when they doubled my PPI to twice a day)
I would suggest you contact your surgeon. Acid is something to keep under control - you may need your omeprazol increased.
Hi, sorry you are having a rough time with heartburn. I had it horrible prior to surgery, and lucky it has gotten way better. I did start taking a pill form of a PPI maybe 2 weeks after surgery? I would give your surgeon a call, and see if there is something else you can take for now. Hope you feel better soon!
Hi there - I understand your discomfort and pain. I dealt with horrible reflux post-op. We found out I'm allergic to Omneprazole and Zantac, and frankly neither of those worked too well. Found that prescription Protonix works real well. For the first year or so I couldn't do certain foods because they would increase the reflux regardless of what I was taking. Anything tomato-based for me.
The broth may not have sat well so try avoiding that for now. I would suggest talking to your doctor about trying another PPI if you continue to notice break-through acid issues. Also, I still sometimes have to pop a couple Tums during the day...no harm in doing that.
