I thought I was getting a sore throat, little burning no hurting! I am eating fine but 2 days ago I had some hummus mixed with salsa ( 1 tablespoon).  I have had a burning in my lower throat for the past 2 days! Could this be heart burn, my protonix pill stuck in my pouch ( I have not taken another one since)? Any suggestions? I am 5 weeks out from RNY!

I am not sure.  My suggestion would be to drink some hot tea.  Hot tea will help anything that could possibly be stuck.  There is a recipe I used to have that involved ho****er and meat tenderizer, but I can't seem to find it at the moment and don't want to tell you wrong.  But that recipe, if I can locate it, will also help anything that might be stuck, but try the hot tea first and see if that doesn't ease things up.

Amy,
I aggree with Leaha, Try and drink something hot to try and break it up. But if you are not better by morning PLEASE, PLEASE call your DOCTOR and let them know what is going on.

Hello everyone!

I am much better! I discovered that the little protonix pill that I started taking 3 days ago, sat in my new stomach and took it's time-released self a long time to go away and caused irritation. I called the makers, Wyeth Laboratories, and they immediately referred me to a chemist who figured it out! I am going back to soft foods for the weekend and taking a small amt. of mylanta.On Monday, my gastro. Doc, is suppose to call in Protonix granules! The pill was no bigger than a tic tac! Very small and there was no way that i could drink enough water to get it thru at one time! I also found out that it is very dangerous to chew or crush a protonix pill! Glad I didn't do that! I did think about it! Thanks to everyone who cared and suggested ideas! You ladies/gentlemen are great!

Hello Amy-Jo,
I'm truly glad that you are feeling better and found out what the problem was. Just remember that we now have to really watch what we have and most of it really needs to be liquid so that we do not have problems in taking med's or even VITAMINS.

My doctor put me on something called Aciphex and I never had any trouble with it getting stuck or taking too long to dissolve.  Maybe ask your doctor if that is something you can take.
