I have burning reflux constantly. It started 2 days after surgery. I have tried all the liquid over the counter stuff including some chewables... tums, mylanta, etc... Any suggestions??? Please help if you can.

I have horrible reflux I came home taking nexium everyday. Now almost a year later I'm down to a Prilosec every 3 days or so and a couple tums here and there. Sometimes if I drink water it helps or a trick that helps is I chew some gum and the chewing for some reason I don't know why calms it

I bought some rinitidine yesterday. I will try the gum thing too. Thanks everyone!

if you can get off the tums/rolaids type of stuff, those are notorious for causing rebound reflux. try some eater's digest tea or something with peppermint or licorice in it for the meantime till your meds kick in.
