Bo peep & Dental hygenius.... Carbonation causes problems because of all the gas. Most people after the surgery have difficulty making themselves burp to get the gas out, same thing goes for...
Hi Kara Welcome. I to had all three that you mentioned. I am 6 wks out from a hiatal hernia repair and lap nissen surgery. Are you on any medications for these issues? I was on 2 protonix...
Hi, I wish I had an answer for you. BUT, I really don't know if not being able to chew very well has much to do with gerd. Does your gerd happen all the time with all foods? Even ones that are soft?...
I was on 2 protonix daily...which is how I only got any relief. I agree with inderonu....call the pharmacy, then your doctor. Insurance companies will have a fit if you don't have a rx for that...
dental hygenius.... Welcome....this is a WONDERFUL site! Feel free to email me [email protected] I am now 6 weeks out of a lap nissen/hital hernia repair and I FEEL GREAT! I'm basically eating...

I too have had that feeling of food getting stuck. It's NOT fun. Are you eating too quickly? Inhaling air at the same time? Try eating VERY slowly and chewing to the point everything is MUSH. Sorry I...
Katie, this is usually the diet people go on after stomach virus, it's very easy on the stomach. The thing is, I really don't think its good for long term. What did you GU say?...
NUCats Have you discussed your anxiety with a pyschologist? I too have anxiety, and I know talking about things really help. Also, I do know, that i too had a small hiatal hernia, and literally 2...
Yes, this can can be related. Which kind of dr are you seeing? Are they a specialist? The heatburn at night concerns me. Are you having any late meals? My esophageal sphinter was weak, which was why...
I've just been reading some of the older posts...How did your dr appointment go? I hope you got some answers. I'm 29. I've had reflux for a LONG time! I am now 2 weeks post lap nissen and hiatal...
Have you spoke to your doctor about this?...
Hi Lucy As I said previously, I'm 29. I just had the surgery 2 weeks ago. Medication wasn't working for me, BUT, there was also NO way I would be able to continue with the meds, just due to the MONEY...
My 2 cents.....Phazyme is GREAT. Does this happen even with small meals, snacks, drinks, coffee? What does her doctor think?...
I would see a Gastrointestinal doctor.....Cover ALL your bases!!! Good luck with quiting smoking! Use your precious babies as motivation!...
Hi acidman I believe that HH can cause that terrible feeling of food getting stuck. I forget what it's called, but it does have a fancy name. Have you had an ENG done? Have you seen a GI specialist?...
Are you seeing a GI doctor or your normal practitioner?...
I believe this is refered pain. Either way, see a GI specialist! Also try some otc medication for GERD. DO you have it will all meals? Large meals, snacks, drinks etc? Do you only eat Large meals?...
Run, don't walk for a SECOND opinion. When you were diagnosed, what were your symptoms, are they worse now? Who diagnosed you? Did they do any tests? PLEASE, take care of yourself, be very proactive...

I've been swallowing pills since my surgery, 11 days ago. My capsule is about a 1/2 in long, but it is skinny. I've been cutting my other pills in half, and they are much bigger than that....
Just general INFO: My doctor told me to try to stay away from meats....He said the stomach has to contract harder to digest them.....It makes sense to me, since I trid very fine ground meat, and my...
