Today I am having like "waves" of heartburn off and on the last day or so. It seldom lasts long, but it is pretty uncomfortable. I'm not sure if it is related to gas (I am feeling just a little bloated today) or to lack of BMs (I had surgery the 25th... since then I had 2 very small BMs... one on the 29th and one on the 30th but nothing since) or maybe to starting full liquids yesterday...

I wasn't very disciplined yesterday in how often I tried to get Protein in, or about how often I tried "new" things for this stage... it was pretty willy-nilly... but today I'm trying to get onto a schedule more like my pre-op diet schedule.

So... can I take chewable antacids? Or is that a no-no?

Anyone got any insight or experience to share on this happening?

I'm 16 days post op and I get heartburn almost every evening by 7-8pm. I take 1 chewable Tums/Rolaides and it takes care of it. I didn't get permission from my doc but my common sence told me if I am to take my chewable multi Vitamin 2xs a day then surely it's ok for me to take a chewable antacid. That's my reasoning anyway! LOL Hope this helps. And it totally works too. Much relief.
