Anyone taking carafate post op for up to 6 weeks...that stuff is the worst...
This medication is used to treat and prevent ulcers in the intestines. Sucralfate forms a coating over ulcers, protecting the area from further injury. This helps ulcers heal more quickly.

Re: Carafate??
It also helps promote movement of the stomach and intestines to help stuff push through. They gave it to me in the hospital when I got super dehydrated and my stomach was swollen to the point no water or food would go in at all for a week. They tried to continue it after discharge but I found I was also allergic to it. I think it did help the inflammation and for me to get stuff down.
Besides the hives, I think it was good for me for that period of time in my life.
