Managing GERD: Need advice on taking meds with an empty stomach

Crackers and water, is what has always worked for me.

I eat peanut butter crackers and it helps with taking meds. I never have a flare at night when I take my meds and eat them. I can actually go to sleep with no problems. My Gastroenterologist told me to stop eating four hours before I lay down. This helps to avoid a GERD flareup. I have to take my meds just before I lay down. They require food in my stomach. This is very effective for me. I wish you the best.☺️

Drink a cup of water before every meal to neutralize the acid in the stomach

Thanks guys it was going so good the last week I just feel like I’m back to square one

I would eat like saltines with my pills in the beginning, hope this helps.

Usually I’m okay with taking meds on an empty stomach but when I first started I wasn’t. Usually I would do something small like a piece of toast to absorb any excess acid
