sour/uncomfortable stomach help?!



Recommended Posts

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.< /p>

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.

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?

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
