Acid reflux

Hi all, Need some help. My hydascan is set for Friday to see how the gallbladder is functioning. I'm still on protein drinks and water. Getting harder to get anything down (or keep it Down.) About 3:00AM I woke up vomit ting. There was so much acid my throat fells like it is burned. I try Mylanta to soothe the throat but didn't help. Any suggestions on what I can do?      Mag       

call ur surgeon and see if they can suggest OTC prevacid or prescribe u some nexium.  I am so sorry that you are going through this.  Hope the scan shows what it needs
to show for them to be able to fix the problem.

Hugs

Thanks, Fran.  I'm on a generic now but can't always keep it down.  Maybe the dr. has something else too.    Mag

Have you ever tried Peppermint tea???  I had a really hard time with reflux pre-op and it always worked for me, its worth a try!!

Thanks. I'll try that.  Mag

Thanks for the peppermint tea idea. It gave me 30 minutes relief which is a blessing. When when I started my bedtime pills the pain all came back. Wish I didn't need so many meds, Will sip some more tomorrow.   Mag

Started vomiting on a Mon. got worse as the next couple of days past. Thurs. dry heaves wouldn't stop after 2 hours. Called Dr. sent me to ER. They ended up keeping me for 9 days, it was a gall bladder attack (the one and only that I've experienced), and it was so bad I needed 2 strong antibiotics thru IV for the 9 days. Then another 10 days at home orally. The surgery for the gall bladder removal is schedule for 3 weeks from now!
Don't guess, your Dr knows best!

Thanks, I told my sister that I wanted to go to the ER tonight because I'm so weak and tired and sick. she said to wait until I have the scan on Friday. I'll call the doctor's office tomorrow for sure.  1 glass of water and 1 protein drink is all I've gotten down so far today. The thought of another protein drink is overwhelming right now. I just want to go to bed and stay there for a very long time.. I know things will get better,   Mag

Mag, so sorry that you are feeling this way.  Hoping that you have already called your MD and that things have improved.  Know that I am in your corner, rooting for you.  Take care.  Hugs

So sorry the tea only helped for a half hour, I was always good for the rest night.  Also I am so sorry your having such a difficult time.  Hope you get to the bottom of what the issue is that is bothering you, sooner rather than later.

Take care of yourself
