Stomach acid

The stomach acid that sometimes feels like hunger pangs has been so incredibly strong the last few days. I am currently in a lot of discomfort with it. Does anyone have any remedies?

I've already taken my Pepcid.

    You might ask your doctor to try a different PPI like Prilosec. Available same dose as a prescription and OTC, but prescription is better because insurance will pay for it. If 1 daily does not help the acid, try 2. I definitely notice if I forget to take the Prilosec because I will get acid in my throat. The burning is not worth it and a good reminder to not forget daily PPI.

    I agree with fiddle man. I am now taking two Prilosec a day and no more stomach acid.
