I've been having really bad hunger pains that don't go away even if I eat. I've had these for years but they've suddenly got worse. I thought acid reflux but I take 40mg omeprazole, 300mg ranitidine and have been adding pepto bismol and gaviscon but none of them make it any better. Eating lessons it a bit but not by much. It's been bad for three days now and I can't make it better. I'm convinced I have a stomach ulcer or gastritis but had these symptoms in the past and nothing showed up when I was scoped. I've got to go to work tomorrow so need to find something to make it better. Doctors will just tell me it's because I'm anxious but I wasn't before this started this time. I was extremely happy and calm.

I can feel everything churning away in my stomach, it is just so unsettled and I can't settle it. Hell I would even let myself be sick if it would help (in emetophobic).

I have Ibs a but that's in my bowels. Anyone got any clues what this could be or more importantly how to calm it down? Camomile, fennel and ginger tea don't help.

I was told not to take gaviscon when I was on omeprazole. Do you think that maybe the cocktail of things you are taking could be making things worse ?
