    Default Wide experience

    I awoke from a sound sleep this morning to a weird sensation. I had the strange acidic taste of orange peel in my mouth, my throat was burning and I began to cough!

    I ran to the bathroom and coughed up a little bit of bitter fluid.

    I rinsed and had a few sips of water, the Orange peel taste has subsided to a certain degree.

    This is new and different!

    Has anyone else experienced this?

    I am doing this from my iPad and just noticed the damned autocorrect changed the thread title from weird experience to wide experience!

    What is a reduced? I am on a daily dose of Prilosec now, do I need to increase that?

    Be careful, I started with these same symptoms about 2 months out. It turned out to be gallstones and I had to have my gallbladder removed. I'm hoping that it is just extra acid for you. Be sure to not let your pouch be empty for too long.

    Best of luck to you, it looks like you are progressing quite nicely.
