Can RNY'ers get heartburn?
This may be a dumb question but I was awake at 4:00 this morning by burning pain. felt like i needed to burp but couldn't. I did have heartburn before surgery but have not had it (thank God) since so it was a shock this morning when I woke up with that burning pain. I was told since our pouches are not attached to the right things that there is no stomach acid to cause heartburn.
I really feel dumb having to ask this and I will see my doc tomorrow so hoping to get some Pepcid or something...Anything natural that have helped you out? Any advice is appreciated!

Yes I get it all he time since being pregnant. I have never had it before in my life. Then about 6 weeks ago I ate dairy and almost died. I thought I was having a heart attack. I get it alot now when I eat dairy. I take tums. Good Luck

It is most definitely possible to get heartburn after RNY. I got it a lot at the beginning of my pregnancy because I always wanted lemonade! Pepcid is safe to take. You can also eat Tums, but I found those never helped.
