Acid feeling - is this normal.

malby · April 11, 2008

I am getting the stangest feeling in my stomach. It is really hard to describe but is kind of like acid is attacking my stomach lining but it doesnt feel like acid reflux. It seems to happen when I lie on my left side or when my stomach is gurgling after all the food has emptied out of the pouch. It goes away after a few minutes (or until I turn over)but is really uncomfortable for a little while.

Is this normal, has anyone else experienced this.

I have the same thing that happens. Except that it isn't just when I am done eating. I wake up at night with the gurgling and heartburn feeling. What is it that causes this?

Try taking something like pepcid ac or zantac. If that doesn't help you should call your Dr.

Mine wakes me up at night as well. I have stopped it in teh past by having a yoghurt so I dont know if it is because my stomach is completely empty.

I'm sorry you are having this trouble. It doesn't happen to me but it might just be because my surgeon makes all of his patients take Prevacid for three months after the surgery. (I'm taking a generic version because of my insurance.) Definitely call your surgeon because you might be suffering unnecessarily! Good luck!
