Morning acid indigestion issues

[SKhan 5]

So anyone out there who is suffering from I think acid indigestion?

I am 3 weeks post op and it just started this week (well maybe got worse) - I am waking up with what I think is acid indigestion/gerd? I can't eat Breakfast nor want to drink anything. It takes a good few hours to get better after I wake up. It's a horrible feeling. I am taking my meds still and Mylanta everyday. I take it in the morning as well but it doesn't help for few hours atleast.

What is this? Anyone else have this issue? Any remedy/suggestions to make this go away?

If you're a sleever you might have a spot of late onset GERD. Sure hope not because it is no fun. Perhaps you should let your doctor know and follow his or her advice.

Put blocks under your bed's feet at the head of head of the bed. Even a 3-4 inch incline will do a lot to improve morning GERD.

I will try that. I feel like the acid is up to my throat - maybe its Regurgitation? I have no idea what this is but it's very uncomfortable for sure.

I wrote to my doc's office. I am waiting for them to respond and or even prescribe me something. Its hard to explain when you don't know what it is really

Didn't they put you on something for acid after surgery? At my group, we all take omeprazole for four months to aid in healing.

Yes they did. I am taking it twice daily plus Mylanta 20 mins before each meal.

I'm on Dexilant, works better for me than omeprazole. Some people even get prescribed Carafate.

I was able to talk to the doctor. He suggested I take Gaviscon Dual Action.

So I'll go get that and try it out. He also said that I should start off my day with warm tea or something warm so it soothes the acids.

Try green tea or a soothing herbal mixture, no peppermint per my gastroenterologist. When I was little my godmother would give me peppermint to soothe my tummy, now he says pepper is in the beginning of the word for a reason.

ok I am back again.

Nothing and I tell you nothing has helped me so far. I have elevated my bed and my pillows, I am taking omeprazole, gaviscon, zantac, ginger teas, milk, yogurt

I am so desperate to get help! My acid reflex is not getting any better. I am miserable
