Please help me... I'm having trouble getting my day figured out...

I have to take:
carafate (3 x per day --- 1 hr before or 2-3 after food)
nexium (1 x per day)
vitamins
calcium

and get the liquids going.. I need to up the water. I'm getting in about 38 oz. per day now.

here's what an ideal day looks like right now...
6:30am - protein drink or unjury chix soup
VITAMIN
7:30am - CARAFATE(star****er)
9:30am - 4 oz juice/water or yogurt
11:30am - stop water
12 noon - broth and applesauce
12:30pm - star****er
CALCIUM
1:00pm - CARAFATE
3:00pm - protein drink
4:00pm - CARAFATE
5:00pm - stop water
5:30pm - yogurt + skim milk smoothie
6:00pm - star****er
8:00pm - s/f popsicle or pudding or yogurt
bedtime - NEXIUM

I woke up and had Carafate first thing yesterday morning thinking I would have protein in an hour -- well that backfired -- had my first experience with hypoglycemia! So... I won't do that again...

Let me know your thoughts!
Thanks!
Meg

I would have, as a newbee, and really still now had a horrible time with that.  I have something about every 3 hrs so the Carafate would have been very hard to fit in.  We also only had to wait 15 min from liquid to food, 30 from food to liquid.  But we were to have 6 "meals" a day at that point.  I would have never had 1 hr before or 2-3 hours after.  Geeze.  I'll have to think some more to see if I can come up with something that would work for you.  Did you ask your Nut for a schedule?

Sounds like you are off to a great start.

I think Price's idea about seeing the NUT is a good place to start.

I have to agree with Price also.

Good Luck, I have no advice. I did not do well in the beginning with my carafate/nexium and everything else. You are definately doing better than I am.
