Really bad acid reflux

Hello, im about 6 weeks post op from vsg and having really bad acid reflux. Last night it was bad and i had to drink ginger tea to soothe the burning sensation. I am taking nexium 40 mg whicj helps, but when it wears off, its hell. There is not a day where i dont vomit, which i believe is due to the acid & constipation. I have to get myfluids in between my nausea which is causing me not get enough fluids in. Im miserable. Im not even eating because i dont want to get really constipated. Please help. Its a marry go roung.

No but after omg this may be something you have to adjust to just watch what you eat and drink anything with alot of acid will make it flare up Orange Juice Red Sauces Chocolate

See this is what I don't want, I've never had acid reflux in my life and I definitely don't want it it ... Ugh

I take Pepcid twice a day and that has helped me much. I also try to avoid any foods I know will cause it to flare up.

But apple cider vinegar is supposed to help. And maybe some peppermint essential oil too. Some others out there too...can't remember them.

Hope you find relief too.
