Hunger pains: Stomach pains when you are not hungry suggests gastritis - and if you are taking Ibuprofen that can cause gastritis. A course of liquid antacids or h2 blockers (ranitidine) or ppi (omeprazole) can help. (and avoid the ibuprofen.).

Could be.: If you have gnawing, cramps pain in your stomach area (just below your breastbone), you may indeed have stomach irritation (gastritis) or an early ulcer. These may be caused by too much acid secretion. Try an otc product such as Pepcid ac or zantac (ranitidine) ac and if your symptoms continue, see your doctor.
