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.

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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
