I have really bad burning in my stomach in the early hours of the morning when I am in bed, I have to prop myself up on 3 pillows to try and get back to sleep, the burning last for an hour or two after getting out of bed, then I am ok for the rest of the day, until I go to bed that night, I have been told I have diverticulitis in my sigmoid, and could also have IBS, I am taking 30mg of lansoprazole each morning, I also take gaviscon advance when I wake up in the early hours, though this does not help.
