I have been on losers bench for 5 weeks with no acid reflux issues. Today I woke up and cant eat or drink anything the acid is so bad. I don't know what caused such a huge change. I do take a prescribed an acid medicine and took it and there is no change. Any suggestion?

Heartburn and Reflux are the only issues that I have had since my surgery, I take over the counter Antacid's twice a day. I have tried a few including Zantac, Prilosec and even a generic that I found at Sam's, They seem to work for about a month and then I need to switch up. I do find relief in chewing Tums here and there. I have more heartburn than reflux... THANK GOD but the other day the acid came up and it was horrible... Burnt, made me gag and cough and was just very uncomfortable. I have a Dr's appt on the 22nd to see about getting on another prescription strength antacid. All in all I am happy that this is all that I have to deal with... I've lost 98 lbs in 6 months and feel amazing!!!

Good Luck!

Your prescribed PPI will not give immediate relief to excess acid. What it does is slow the production of further acid. What you need now is something like tums, pepto, etc. just keep in mind tgat you don't want to get into the habit of taking tums too often as one of its side effects is that it stimulates acid production.
