I woke up in the middle of the night in sever pain in my stomach. Right under my rib cage, this has happened to me about 4 times in the last few months. It last about an hour until I take pepto bismal, it helps eases some of the pain, but just enough not to go to the emergency room. I have been taking lansoprazole for a few yes for acid reflux!
1. Do not eat spicy food 2. Take medications without fail as prescribed by your doctor- pantop/omez/rantac/lansoprazole 3. Take little food at frequent intervals. Breakfast around 8am, small snack at 11am, lunch at 1pm, small snack at 4pm and dinner at 8pm 4. Drink plenty of water 5. Do not smoke, take alcohol or tobacco and even excess of coffee and tea 6. Do not take much of stress. Stress aggravates gastritis 7. Do regular exercise. Atleast half an hour per day 8. Learn meditation techniques 9. Follow this regularly for 21 days.
