the Pill, Acid Reflux And Different Foods. Please Help... Posted: 07-10-05 01:21am
I asked these to my doctor, but she said
she had to do research and she would get
back to me in a couple of weeks, but I
don't want it to be too late by the time
she calls me.
Is it true that there are some foods that
affect how the pill works? If so, what
foods?
For the past couple of days I have been
eating right before I take my pill, and
then after a few minutes I can still feel
the food going up and down my throat
(although I don't throw up, I still have
acid reflux)... Could that affect how the
pill is digested into my body to release
the hormones? Am I still protected? I'm
not going to eat before I take my pill
anymore just incase, but I had unprotected
sex in the past 2 days when I did and I
just want to know if i'm still safe.
Thank you very much.

As long as you don't throw it back up,
even if you have reflux it will still be
digested properly. I have reflux, and
have had it for years with my doctor's
knowledge and was never told that it would
effect it. The only thing might be to
not take the pill very close to taking an
antacid pill.. Because sometimes they can
affect how certain medications are
digested.
