OKC Meet and Greet and Eat (without me)

I'm definitely keeping the doctor appointment on Thursday-still not really doing well at all. Still on bland stuff, and I'm DQing the celebrex-which grieves me, but it is the most likely remaining suspect.
More annoying than the reflux is the lack of sleep. I still don't think this is band related-the food hits my lower stomach and the problems begin-so there is a chance it will be bug related-in which case, you don't want me there anyway.
I took meds at least an hour a part-and had stop after the Celebrex-which pretty much implicates it again. Crap. I LIKE being able to move. (Celebrex was OK'd by band doctor, but it was a try it and see. I thought after the first month I was clear...maybe not)

That breaks my heart-for both of us cause I loved that celebrex. Oh well, back to the therapuedic water aerobic pool until I figure out something else.
I really don't think these tiny tummies like a lot of pills, but in this case it was getting past little tummy, hitting big tummy and THAT's where the trouble began.
I've moved up to thicker oatmeal-and no burning, so I am hopeful that is what it was (I'd still rather know even if I don't like the answer).
Deb, my tummy is definitely happier without the Celebrex. However, it is not back to normal. I saw Dr. Walton this afternoon. He switched me to Carafate today to see if they would settle down my unhappy tummy. Once I get out of trouble I will go back to my Mobic. I was able to take that after surgery without any problems. Makes no sense to me since Celebrex is supposed to be easier on your tummy. However, my pharmacist doesn't understand why they were ever allowed to say that abotu Celebrex.
I am hoping that Carafate will settle my tummy down. At this point I am OK as long as I don't try to eat. If I eat I am nauseous.
Hopefully both of us can get our bellies to settle down again.
