Like Joanne, I was on anti-acids the whole time, Pepcid AC then Prilosec. Chemo does a number on the stomach lining. I also had many problems with nausea, mainly from constipation and resulting lack of homeostatis. Reglan may help this and talk to your nutritionist as well. Is he still on pain meds?
