There are a couple of anti-nausea prescription meds, but they're the same as over the counter. Ask your doctor. Make sure you specify that you might consider OTC meds. If you don't ask, it's pretty routine for a doctor to write a prescription, and you might not need it. One of the most commonly prescribed meds is Prilosec, in prescription strength. But OTC might work just as well. Talk to your doctor and nutritionist. They won't volunteer the information. Educate yourself and then weigh the risks.

OMEPRAZOLE and ONDANSETRON are the pharma names for Prilosec and the other one I can't think of (zANTAC?) that you can buy OTC. But talk to your doctor about whether or not you can take the OTCs instead of getting prescriptions.

It can take a second to get used to a new food stage. I personally only did the new stage for dinner. So when I hit puree, I stayed on liquid except for dinner. It does not seem like it but there's a big difference in the heaviness for your new, wounded tummy!
Definitely speak to your Dr. even if you don't want meds. Its best to keep them updated with everything, just in case.

Ondansetron is the generic name for Zofran

darn! I had Zofran, but went back and edited it to Zantac! Thanks, Suthy.
