Im not sure whats going on here but the past few days ive been having pretty bad heartburn, nothing seems to be helping, ive been taking prilosec and tums

I also have what i can only describe as a sour/queasy/uncomfortable stomach thats really annoying. it almost feels like when i drink certain things (coffee/tea/iced coffee) that the lining of my stomach is burning. not in one particular area, just all around burning. any thoughts on what this could be?

editing to say that i am 7 months out if that makes a difference. it doesnt only happen with coffee/tea. it can feel sour just over nothing and it just started about a week ago.

Caffeine may be the culprit. It causes your stomach to produce more hydrochloric acid. Try decaf.

i have been using decaf

My nut said that coffee, regardless of caffeine content, is acidic and to avoid it for a period of time because of that. Stick with the decaf tea and see if that helps.

thank you for response. im not sure i worded my post correctly to get my point across. im 7 months out and this just started. if it was b/c of caffeine, wouldnt it have been happening all along?

sounds like something I have too. Except im burping a lot. Feels like my stomach is full with pressure and lots of pain. Scared to eat or drink. I had surgery sept.2011 almost 3 years ago and it just stated last week. the first time lasted 3 days. I chewed several Pepcid Complete. then after 4 days it came back. feels like a knife going thru me when I eat.

I mixed nexium and the Pepcid my dr prescribe seem to help

I also before the nexium Pepcid combo

I was chewing 8 tums plus a day and it was doing nothing

yes the tums do absolutely nothing. i think im going to try the nexium instead of the prilosec. it subsided for a few days and now its back

exactly what it feels like! its like a burning/uncomfortable warming sensation. have you spoke to the doctor about it?
