I have been experiencing a burning in my stomach. It has been happening for some time now. It lessens when I eat and for that reason I feel I am eating constantly just to keep it at bay. This week I am trying Mylanta to see if that will help. I hope this product is safe. Has anyone out there had the same problem? To be honest I had this problem for years before the surgery and was so glad that it went away for about 4 yrs afterward. No it's back and I am very distressed over it. It is not heart burn. It always stays right in the middle of my abdomen where the pouch is located.
