Cole,

I did have to start taking an acid reducer, not all the time, but some days I just seem to have more of a problem. You can ask your doctor to prescribe something, or try something over the counter, Pepcid, Zantac, or Prilosec and see if that helps. The pills are small enough so you shouldn't have a problem swallowing them. You can also call Dr. Martinez, his cell # was on the list of #'s we give to all OCC patients when they are discharged from the clinic. He may have some other suggestions for you.

The gas pain was awful, I used gas-x and a heating pad at night it helped. And walk, walk, walk it really helps to get it out.
