Members responded to a question about burning stomach pain by sharing that medications, GERD, acid reflux, and stress are common culprits, with many finding that taking pills without food or water can trigger discomfort. Several members described practical relief strategies, including over-the-counter options like Prilosec, Zantac, and Protonix, as well as probiotics, Activia yogurt, drinking plenty of water, avoiding spicy foods, and not lying down for three hours after eating. A recurring theme was the link between fibromyalgia medications and digestive issues, with members encouraging each other to protect their stomachs by always taking medications with food.
