Hiya,

I'm wondering if anybody else is experiencing what feels like a painful hunger pains late night early mourning? I don't think it's hunger I don't want any food persay. I'm 11 day post-op. I think it's stomach acid that's bothering me. I started to take the prescribe med in the evening to help. It did alil. But, it keeps me waking up around 6am and won't stop Untill I put something in me. Then it settle down. If anyone else deals with this what yall do? I don't go for my first appt fill up Untill this thrusday 3/3.

It's acid. What's your antacid med and dose? You may need to take more for awhile or switch to a different one. I was on 40mg omeprazole daily for two months. But even at that dose it would sometimes flair up. Rolaids or Maalox were a quick fix when it did. After 2-3 months I no longer needed any PPIs. Now, when I occasionally get gastritis or a bit of acid I take an H2 blocker like famotidine or ranitidine or even just a couple Rolaids. They are faster acting than the PPIs and I only have to take them for a day or two.
