Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Tammy, I think that is what your carafate is for. Are you still taking it?

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 It's probably that, heartburn. Are you taking Pepcid AC or anything like that? If you're not, then take some of the over the counter version of same, and that should fix it. Of course if Richmond is like Fremont, and recommends that you take Tums after the surgery, then that should have taken care of the heartburn, and besides I don't know of any foods, in stage II, that would cause heartburn. Hope it passes soon.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Tammy, eat the most solid thing you are allowed to eat, and see if that helps. I'm five days out, and having the same sort of thing, kind of a pain, kind of a nausea. The applesauce helps for me.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Tammy, are you remembering to take the carafed? That's supposed to coat your pouch before you eat anything. Call the office.....

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Interesting. I was sent home with two bottles of the stuff and was told to take it 4 times a day, an hour before each meal and at bedtime. The one time I didn't take it I had heartburn and then I took it and it went away. So you didn't have any heartburn at all?

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Kay, I get a pain and a nausea thing every morning. I do wish I had been sent home with carafate. it was very soothing when I took it in the hospital.

Guest guest Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Laurie, You should call the dept and get the Dr to write you a rx for it. Then you can still take it. There is no need for you to be in discomfort for THEIR mistake! Kay > > Kay, I get a pain and a nausea thing every morning.
