Can Lap Band Patients Take Alka-Seltzer?

[lmgarza 33]

Today I ate a sausage which gave me diharrea and naseau....any suggestions?

That's a good question due to the fizzies. It's not carbonation but could expand the stoma. Is there anything else you can take in it's place?

I use pepto in times like that.

I vote Pepto, liquid or chewable tablets. No fizzy!

Thank y'all just trying to be on the safe side. I appreciate all your feedback. . Took my naseau meds from surgery and it is helping. I do not want to throw up and have not since I have been banded in Sept.

Pepto, Tagamet, Zantac, Tums, Gas-X for the tummy, Phenergan for the nausea or what ever your doctor gave you and be thankful for the diarrhea it will relieve some pressure. Early on in this process I used to suffer from a lot of indigestion and many things upset my stomach and I had nausea. Hope your feeling better.
