Heartburn after liver transplant: How do I get relief?

Hello all! I am a few days post liver transplant and have been experiencing this problem of heart burn when eating. When my team transitioned me from NPO diet to a clear liquid diet, I didn’t have a problem. However, when I went from clear liquid to a regular diet, I started experiencing heart burn, whether it was a smoothie, soup, or more solid meals. At first, I thought it was a breathing issue, something with my lungs but I soon realized this has to be heart burn and/or some sort of acid reflux. I recently was switched from taking Pepcid to now taking another medication, which I can get the name of and edit this comment again. I’ll see how I respond to this because this is something I’m currently experiencing and it’s making eating uncomfortable. Thanks for the initial post and thanks to everyone who’s commented with their tips and personal experiences!
