silly me

Hope your tummy is better when you get this started back Price.  After having to take the Carafate a couple of times I take something every day  and have for the last two years.  I take one that cost about $4.00 for 30 days.  My surgeon told me to start with the cheapest and see if that worked, if not go to the next highest until I get what works.  The cheapest has worked pretty good so far unless I eat a lot of tomato products-that seems to be the culprit for me!!

seems to be working.  much less sore today than yesterday.  thanks for the support.  I would have thought I would have learned my lesson last time.  I will just stay on something.

I have Prevacid - and at 4 years out I can now go without for awhile.  I still keep some on hand for those days my tummy isn't feeling well - but - for the newbies - when your tummy feels "irritated or grouchy" and you haven't taken a PPI for awhile - that could be the culprit. 

I had that happen, found myself eating more to make it feel better, only to return 1-2 hrs later.  I realized then I needed to take my Prevacid and all was well.

My surgeon took me off of my Prilosec the day of surgery but within a week the other surgeon in the office put me back on it.  I too have an upset stomach when I miss very many days of it and I also get hunger feelings.   I'm thankful my PCP give me a prescription for 3 months worth at a time.
