when is the best time to take PPI?
Posted , 6 users are following.
I am taking 40mg of somac daily for gastritis. My GI specialist advised me to take it 30 minutes prior to breakfast in the mornings. My GP today has advised me it is best to take it before bed as your stomach is empty for so long over night and thats when the acid builds up and sits in your stomach.
I just wanted to see what others views and recommendations are?
Thanks

I don’t actually have trouble sleeping at all and sleep on a normal pillow.
My GP suggested the nightly somac as my gastritis just isn’t healing. Are you saying morning or night is recommended?

Keep to a very bland diet if you can, no cinnamon, no red meat at night, no onions or garlic, no chocolate, these are all triggers for me, garlic being the worst.
When you feel the burning and or dis-comfort, try this - 1/3 cup of milk, topped up with boiling water, just until it is nice and warm, but not hot, use your finger, and then sit down and sip slowly, works for me every time, seems to break the cycle, sometimes causes me to have huge burp, but releases the pain.
