There are some serious posts in the last month from newcomers but I hope it is alright for me to raise a maintenance topic to see if anyone has a good answer to a difficulty.

Four year survivor to Stage 3 Stomach Cancer. Chemo - Gastrectomy - more Chemo. Roux-In-Y reconnection. Currently two gall stones show on scans.

About once every ten days at night I will get a very painful bile reflux attack as though I am being burned with terrible acid. I eat about four tums and it slowly reduces the pain.

Any good preventions or better treatments than calcium?
