You may be dealing with medication induced gastritis. These medications can be taken with food but not on an empty stomach. Continue pepcid. Avoid alcohol,caffeine. spicy and greasy foods. If you note bloating from gas, take simethicone 1/2 hour after meals & at bedtime. Notify your MD if not improved.
