I was sleeved 8/29 and everything has been great. Not having much trouble getting my liquids in or anything. The #1 issue is this raging heartburn!! I take pepcid every day but its not helping. I cant sleep tonight because every time I get comfortable it comes raring back. Are tums ok to use until I can call the doc in the AM?

let me know what u find out cause im having the EXACT same issue tums dnt work, prilosec or zantac nope ....nada still burnin!

Dr. Aceves told me that Tums cause acid rebound. He recommends Gaviscon.

You need to get on a PPI . Call your doctor and tell him/her about this heartburn and that your medication is not working.

Yep, seems to time for a PPI!

I thought pepcid was a ppi....if its not what is? Anything otc?

The only thing that has ever worked for me is protonix
