Prilosec twice a day. That is what my doctor says to do. Check with your doctor. You poor thing, that is so uncomfortable. I hope you get better real soon!

Okay...I didn't include that I am taking two prilosec a day. I've tried taking them at the same time and then one in the morning and one in the evening. I think it's time to see my doc. I'm sleeping in a chair right now, and it's starting to wear on me.

I was prescribed Nexium and it didn't work for me.. Tried Prilosec and it didn't work for me either... I now take a generic over the counter med for Heartburn and Reflux and chew on Tums when needed and it's working. I still get heartburn every now and again but it's tolerable and the ONLY issue I have had with my surgery. Like you, there are no specific trigger foods and I can get it when drinking water as well. I am 5 1/2 months out and I still deal with it but I am also 95lbs down so in my eyes it's a small price to pay for my success!! Try chewing on Tums for more of an instant relief.

Good Luck!!!

Unfortunately I had this problem for years and tried everything over the counter until nothing worked. Earlier this year mY doctor prescribed Prevacid once per day and now I can eat or drink anything without worrying about that burn. Sounds like its time to talk to your doctor

Nexium once a day does it for me. No problems at all. Have to break the capsule in applesause, but no heartburn.

I take a 40mg pill of nexium.. nexium worked better for me then Prilosec did.

Hi from the UK. My Doctor prescribed Omeprazole capsules which seem to do the trick.

I take omeprazole also..It really works for me..If it's really bad I open the pill and chew the little balls up and swallow that way.

I had the same issues in the beginning. My 1 yr anniversary is this week. A food journal has helped me tremendously. The reflux has pretty much gone away if I avoid the foods that are the worst. On occasion a couple of tums will do the trick now. Wallgreens had a liquid magnesium that also helped for me , it was the same stuff they gave me in Mexico, it tastes like chalk but it has worked for me.
Hang in there it might pass before you know it.
