Anyone had acid reflux after surgery?

Hi ladies I’m 17dpo and I’ve been suffering with acid reflux similar to indigestion feeling and wondered if anyone else has had the same issue? Thanks x

Hi Charlie, I had this really bad for the first few days and was having rennies by the minute. I was also really constipated too and was struggling to eat because of it. Once the constipation went the acid reflux also went but I did read on the anti biotics package that indigestion can be a side effect. Have your tried rennies or gaviscon?

Thanks @sharen yep I’ve been having Gaviscon, hopefully it goes away quickly

Charlie try mint oil it may help

Thanks @loraine

This could also be trapped wind, it feels similar to acid reflux but yes antibiotics can cause it, hope it passes soon xxx

I get acid reflux anyway but whenever I am on antibiotics it gets really bad and the reflux is like glass coming all the way up my chest into my throat. Also pain medication makes mine worse, so after surgery being on both antibiotics and strong pain meds I was in a lot of pain with indigestion and reflux.

I am now 5 weeks post op and it’s calmed down now. Drink lots of ginger tea, gaviscon can help too, the gaviscon advance is the best it is more expensive than regular gaviscon and you need to get it behind the counter at pharmacies but it’s the only one that will really help with reflux (I have dealt with reflux for quite a while now and my specialist recommended it) Normal gaviscon and things like rennies don’t help my reflux so if yours does get really bad do try the advance, it is a lot thicker so helps prevent acid coming back up into the oesophagus.

I hope you feel better soon lovely xxx

Thanks so much Eevie x @eevie
