Hi Millie and thanks for that. You are right. You can take anti-acids like tums and etc but no proton pump inhibitors. Don't take anything until about 2 hours after you have taken your meds or 2 hours before. Baking soda, milk of mag, rolaids, tums, and etc. You need the acid to mix with your meds. Eat a big meal when you take Gleevec, but no spicy foods. Tasi is taken on an empty stomach but Millie can tell you more about that. I take my Sprycel with my breakfast and it has been working good. Google proton pump inhibitors and don't take them. Blessings, Jeanie<3 In a message dated 3/18/2014 10:35:13 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Please check with your Oncologist as I was told not to use any ant-acid things while on Tasigna. Maybe they don't all tell their patients that, but I'd certainly run it by your doctor first. Jeanie mentioned baking soda, but don't know whether or not it would be included. I know from experience that it works, but tastes horrible. I used it a lot when I was pregnant ,many years ago, for heart burn. You just mix it with warm water and drink it down. I think I used a teaspoon of the soda. I hope that you are doing well, other then that. I've had a lot of indigestion lately and felt like I was going to have a heart attack. My nurse told me that I should watch what I'm eating and not to eat spicy things or things with a lot of acid in them. That's no fun at all. :>) I'm on home care once again as my right arm isn't working to well, and so I need the therapist to help me get it to where it will work. It's the Arthritis causing it, but want to be able to use it, so I'm trying everything to make it happen. I had two therapists, but had to get rid of one this week. She wasn't helping and, in fact, she was hurting the situation more as she kept making me force my arm to move with the pain etc. etc. The gal I have now, was just working on my legs and she took over the arms too. She told me to do as much as I'm able but not to do it when the pain is bad. She works on me every couple of days and I really do like her. I have a nurse that comes in, and an aid to help me shower. Right now, I need that help, but am working towards not having to have it. You take care and it's nice seeing you on the site. Miss you when you aren't on for a while. I know you have a busy life, but just let us know how you're doing when you can.

Monday I will meet with my ONC for the results on my blood tests. My CBC was eactly where it should be so I am praying for good results. About a month ago I noticed a spring in my steps to coffee club and increased energy. I will report the findings after I get them. I am praying for all, and so glad Marty is feeling better and able to join on line.
