I had RNY last May and I have recently began having a severe burning in my pouch and the intestines that it connects with. It's like stomach acid is boiling in there. Has anyone else experienced this??

I'd schedule an EGD asap

Hmmm! Acid Reflux should be resolved by having RNY, not make it worse. Are you eating really spicy foods? Are you taking Omeprezole/Prilosec? I definitely would consult with your surgeon. Hope it goes away and there aren't any real issues! Good Luck!

It mostly hurts when I haven't had anything to eat. Like when there's nothing in there but the acid.

Could also be an ulcer, I would get it checked out.

Better see a doctor. Could be leak or ulcer.

I get it from time to time...I have to watch spicy foods...and because I am eating very little carbs I have to be mindful to keep myself alkaline.

Smoothies or protein shakes with coconut or almond milk helps

Thanks so much for your comments. I appreciate the support and help. Omeprezole does make it go away for a while.

Please get this checked out! I had pains for about a month as you described and did nothing until I woke up one night in the worst pain of my life. Turns out I had a perforated ulcer. I had surgery and was in the hospital for a week. I almost and could have died. I will also note that I did everything by the book after my RNY. No caffeine no nsaids etc. I was by no means at high risk for an ulcer. It could have been prevented if I acted on my instincts about the burning pain, I wouldn't want what happened to me to happen to anyone.

It is strange but I get that burning sensation when I have an empty stomach and I drink water. I have no clue why that is but mine only happens with water. I am 9.5 years out of rny and have had that problem since 2yr post op. I had it looked at and no problems leaks or ulcer. It was simply a change of ph in my intestines.

I am 13 years out from my GB and lately on an empty stomach with nothing but water my stomach is on fire. It feels like heartburn but since I've never had heartburn I'm not really sure. it usually will subside by the middle of the day, but in the AM when I get to work is when it starts. Maybe I should start eating before work?
