What can I take for upset stomach?

It WILL burn a hole in your pouch or create an ulcer. If your doctor told you to take meat tenderizer, Good luck with that. Doctors are good at cutting but if you tell him can you take a spoonful of meat tenderizer I'm sure he would think twice. It's the same thing.
Best of luck.

Papain CAN cause Ulcers and all the searches you did are for a normal functioning stomach, one that creates digestive justices to help aid in digestion. You do not have a functional stomach,you have man made created pouch. You go ahead and eat the papain enzyme and I wish you luck. I have seen to many people over the last 8 yrs complain of their ulcers and they were usually the ones popping the papaya pills rather than learning early on how to chew their food properly.

Again, thanks for your concern... You don't know what I searched for... But I did know I needed to search for someone who has had RNY. I would be happy to read any research suggesting it is not good for RNY and would be happy to bring it up with my doctor if I had found any.

I know it sounds a little weird, but garlic pills (the small capsules with oil in them) works wonders for an upset stomach. Get the kind with chlorophyll, though, or you may burp garlic for a little while. Normally one pill is enough, but with the oil malabsorption, two works better.
I have used these since I was a child (and ai am over 50) and it is what my grandmother gave my mother when she was a kid!
