I have been bad and have forgotten to take my PPI for about a week. Now I recognize the 'hungry' feeling I have had for the last umpteen years.

I won't be forgetting it again anytime soon! UGH!

You're lucky.. It only took me 1/2 a day to realized I missed my dose. It wasn't hunger, but pain. Won't be forgetting it again

It's actually been there for a couple of days and I couldn't figure out why I was getting those 'hunger' pains. DOH!

What is PPI?

Congrats! I actually had a couple "doh" moments during my pregnancy. I'd been off my PPI for a long while because I didn't need it. But boy, as soon as I got pregnant I did need it. I felt hungry around the clock and it actually took several weeks for me to realize I needed Prilosec again. Oops.

Now I only need to treat acid once in a while but sure enough, I'll get that grumbly tummy and feel hungry and that's when I know I need to take something that day.

PPI?

PPI?

Proton-Pump Inhibitor

(aka Prilosec, Lansoprazole, and other names)

Thank you!

Oh! I'm on that now. This is my second day. And I think it's the reason I have headaches and am dizzy. It's the only new thing I've started. I'm hoping it'll pass soon though.
