Nauseated all the time....

I have a good day maybe once a week. I can feel acid or bile or something in my pouch amost all the time. I have an incredibly bitter taste in my mouth. Brushing my teeth and/or using mouthwash only helps for a little bit. I have water soluable prevacid that helps for a little while but then it's back to the same old thing. Food just sits like a lump in my pouch until it either passes or I get sick. I don't think anything is getting stuck in there but food just seems to make the nausea worse most of the time. I wondering if this unusual or just part of the process. I starting to wonder if I might be getting an ulcer. Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

I think you need to tell your doctor this. Something doesn't sound right

Susan, I have not gone through what you are explaining, but if I were you this is something I would call my surgeon about. It does not seem like this should be going on. I hope things with you get better, and please please call your surgeon. Melissa

Thanks for the replies. I will probably call my Surgeon in the A.M. I just hate the thought of a EGD and most likely that's what he's going to want to do.

An EDG is a piece of cake compared to surgery. I'm having one in the morning for a blockage. The same thing has been happening to me. It is a very short procedure and it could make a huge difference.

Diona - Let me know your results, ok? I know what an EGD is and I've observed a couple being done, I just can't stand the thought of something being stuck down my throat. Especially right now.

Susan - Just got around to reading your post - Did you have the EGD done?? I was like that for a while - not so much the acid feeling, but nausea with EVERYTHING! I had a stricturea and an ulcer. I had 2 EGDs done. I was so convinced that the stricture had come back I had a 2nd EGD a week after the first. Turns out it was just from the damm ulcer. I still can't eat "normal" food. I am taking it slow and eat whatever works for me. Right now that is a lot of soy beans. (Not roasted, they look like lima beans but have lots of "complete" protein.) Anyway - I am also on 2 prescriptions for the ulcer. One is called Aciphex - expensive, but helping. The other is a liquid I take 4 times a day, can't remember the name right now. Let me know how you made out. Holly
