Dr. Put me on 60mg dexilant for a ppi today and it isn't helping. Does it take a while to kick in? Nothing wants to stay down or when it does it hurts and I feel like I'm going to vomit.

I'm going back to Clear Liquids for a day or 3 to see if that helps.

Eat an apple!!! Works every time!!

Oh, I'm 10 days out and not allowed apples yet. "/

Hi Amy,

Well no on the apple! it might take a day or two to kick in but if it doesn't work after a while (a week or so) you might have to try an other ppi...

Well scratch that then!!

A week or so!? I'm positive I'll die before then.

Just be happy it's not acid and constipation at the same time

Try drinking some pickle juice...the vinegar will help nullify the acid.

I had to have mine changed twice. I still to this day have problems with acid especialy after I eat. So then I take pepcid chewables or tums to help the ppi Im on. You might want to get ahold of your pcp and have him/her get you a prescription for some stronger. My surgeon said I would probably have to use them for at least 6 months.
