"This drug had a very unpleasant side effect noticeable four days after my operation for a total hip replacement. First, I had burning in the esophagus and stomach, followed by soreness around my mouth and lips, then burning spread to my back from my stomach. Six days after the operation, I went out to eat, put an olive into my mouth - the experience was like throwing a match into a lighted fire. Literally, my esophagus felt like it was on fire. The doctor recommended taking Omeprazole. Four days later, it was making no difference, I was being kept awake half the night with the burning. I told my doctor I must stop Pradaxa (Dabigatran) - she prescribed Apixaban instead. Burning reduced one day later, still sore inside, hope nothing lasting."

"Experienced reflux, and found that taking about 3 teaspoons of TJ's flavored yogurt with a few fresh blueberries has eliminated the reflux... (only do this after dinner, for some reason, mornings don't seem to experience reflux). However, do bruise easily. Hands always getting nicked or arms... Have to be careful or wear gloves for protection when doing any yard work or dishes."
