Issues with Cirtus

Can anyone tell me if they are having any issues with certain fruits.. Oranges... strawberries. Love my fruit in the morning but I am noticing some issues related to hick ups.. some heart burn and growling..

This is normal, unfortunately! Especially since you're only 1.5 months out. Give it time, it can subside and get better. The acid in those items can cause the influx, and I know some people suffer worse from it. Thankfully they didn't with me. You could still have them, but would probably need to take some form of omeprazole beforehand. I do that with anything super high in acid now just to keep it down and prevent any painful symptoms. But with time your toleration for it can definitely improve.

^That. It seems those are two fruits that people often complain about having issues with. Stick to lower acidic fruits at this point if you're going to have them. I've had no issues with peaches or pears in small amounts (mixed with cottage cheese). Give it a bit more time and try them again in a few weeks/months.

Thanks for the feed back. I actually met with my surgeon this week and he put me on two medications.. One for the re flux and a liquid medication for the acid in my throat. He told me to cut my portions even more because he said the acid is basically back up of the food.. it causes spasms.. I told him I barely eat anything as it is but I believe I am eat the little I do eat to fast.. Chewing food completely but I can't take 30 minutes to eat 4 morsels of whatever I am eating, So now I have gone back to purees.. mash foods while these symptoms subside. I hope this goes away with time.
