Burning Sensation

Is it normal to have that hunger burning sensation in ur stomach when u swallow something? I'm hoping it's just part of the healing process any advise? Thanks

    What is PPI? And not so much painful, as it reminds me of pre- op whn u would wait too long to eat and u would get that burning hunger feeling in the pit if ur stomach.

    Great,

    PPI is proton pump inhibitor. Like Prilosec or Prevacid. They slow the production of stomach acid.

    Try some tums gas strips, or take a sugar free TUMS and let it dissolve or chew really well - you can even break it up in a pestle first...

    Good chance you have acid, and it feels like hunger - I think alot of our head hunger can be countered wit an antacid...the head part triggers a physical release of stomach acid - and it has gerlin like reactions...
