Surgeon recommended drinking a few sips of pickle juice twice day to help with acid and "foamies". Weird but it totally works. I haven't had any nausea, no vomitting, and no need for meds other than my prilosec since I started drinking it.

Might be helpful to anyone who is struggling with acid or nausea or bloating after eating.

I can now drink all my liquid requirement and all the Protein requirement. This is huge for me since I have not been able to meet either since surgery June 28th. I'm feeling so much better.

Hmmm... I wonder if a dirty martini would do the same? Ha!

Dill pickle juice?

Yep. Dill pickle juice. I pour half a shot glass and sip it over a couple of minutes. This totally works. I imagine green olives would do the same. I have been miserable for 5 weeks. This has been the only thing that works. And I don't wake up at 4am anymore either.

Wow. That's a new one to me and I've been reading this board for almost three years now. Glad you are feeling better!

So wish I would known this sooner. I'm 6 weeks out and I was soooo nauseous about a week ago that even looking at food made me sick. Thank u for the pointers, I sure will remember it if it happens again.

It's good for cramps, too.

I think the vinegar in it fights reflux.

I am all for natural remedies . My parents were big time hippies. I wasn't fat until I got a job as a teen and could buy my own food.

My kinda people.

when I saw this blog I thought the pickle was slang for something else. Glad though that something is helping when there is some acid issues.

Thanks for sharing!

I have had family members bring their hospitalized loved ones pickle juice for leg cramps. It's always been a home remedy and it works. Didn't know it would help with reflux. Will keep that in mind.

Never heard that before but will definitely try it when the time comes. Thanks for sharing!

Hmh. I wonder if this is why pregnant women crave dill pickles? <off topic> Personally, I craved watermelon. My poor ex had to try and find some for me in the middle of winter. And that was back in the days when you couldn't find a watermelon in the winter </off topic>

My hubby is out trying to find prepackaged little containers of pickles so I can bring them on our Cabo trip tomorrow. Doubt there are pickles in Mexico.

Interesting, I've never heard that pickle juice could help. Granted, the only time I've been nauseous is due to eating too much. (I need to be hyper aware on portion control.) But I will definitely file this away -- and buy some pickles because I like them.
