constant reflux

[rasor]

hi can anyone offer me advice ,whenever i eat i am forever burping and feeling sick ,first thing in the morning my throat feels a build up of mucus, i am 5 weeks post ivor lewis ,thanks

Wind Setlers capsules might help with the burping, they're also available in chewable tablet form but I find the capsules better. Can't help with the mucus problem I'm afraid, increasing your fluid intake (if you can) may help to thin it a little but that's all.

If you are on lansoprazole or Ranitidine, maybe give them time to work ie, take either one an hour before eating might make things better.

Did you have pre-op chemotherapy? If so, it can cause mucositis, which could explain the build up of mucous in your throat. However, it should clear up in time.

The burping and feeling sick could just be trapped wind, caused by the rearrangement of your digestive system. (I had a lot of trapped wind after my op, but mine caused pain rather than sickness). If so, it too will subside in time.
