Cheer Mama 166 Posted June 25, 2013 I have been bad and have forgotten to take my PPI for about a week. Now I recognize the 'hungry' feeling I have had for the last umpteen years. I won't be forgetting it again anytime soon! UGH! 1 Susie in Lima reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted June 25, 2013 You're lucky.. It only took me 1/2 a day to realized I missed my dose. It wasn't hunger, but pain. Won't be forgetting it again 1 Cheer Mama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheer Mama 166 Posted June 25, 2013 It's actually been there for a couple of days and I couldn't figure out why I was getting those 'hunger' pains. DOH! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clk 3,519 Posted June 25, 2013 Congrats! I actually had a couple "doh" moments during my pregnancy. I'd been off my PPI for a long while because I didn't need it. But boy, as soon as I got pregnant I did need it. I felt hungry around the clock and it actually took several weeks for me to realize I needed Prilosec again. Oops. Now I only need to treat acid once in a while but sure enough, I'll get that grumbly tummy and feel hungry and that's when I know I need to take something that day. ~Cheri 1 Cheer Mama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GBFree82 75 Posted June 25, 2013 Oh! I'm on that now. This is my second day. And I think it's the reason I have headaches and am dizzy. It's the only new thing I've started. I'm hoping it'll pass soon though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
