Perforated ulcer

[Beth Ann 5]

I actually have pills and liquid form. The pills dissolve very easy.

I was worried about the big carafate pill. I have only tolerated small pills but the liquid carafate taste awful. The pill wasn't too bad. I didn't go down easy but it did seem to dissolve pretty quickly so it didn't really get stuck. I just need to make sure I am taking it with lots of Water.

I’ve been hospitalized twice with ulcers since my May 2017 bypass. One was about 12 days after surgery and i was in hospital for 4 nights. Second time was about 5-6 weeks ago and i was in overnight. No h pylori, no NAISDs, no smoking. Just ulcers at the connection sites (anastomoses). I was on carafate the first time and this time Protonix twice a day for another month, then once a day forever I guess. I just had lots of blood in stool both times as my sign. No pain. My heart would race and I’d feel very faint when i stood up.

Glad you are home and recovering!

Wow! I don’t have h pylori as well no NSAIDs no smoking no coffee or caffeine either! I really hope this is not a re curring thing!! I was on protonix after surgery for 30 days and still developed the ulcer. I have another endoscopy on March 19. I’m hoping all healed! Thanks everyone for sharing.

Interesting, my heart would race when I stood up too I had no idea that was a sign. No blood though. I have learned so much. Thanks for sharing.
