Hi Ashley that sounds fine how you are taking them. Have you had an endoscopy to look down to your stomach or for gallstones. Having had gallbladder removal and stones in bile ducts it is very painful and pain radiates to other parts of you body. Also had Oesphagal cancer which got detected after.

Best Wishes

Yes, I take mine with a cuppa in bed then breakfast about 1 hr later, sometimes a bit before and sometimes a bit after, does not seem to be too critical.

Originally I was told to take them 30-60 mins before food but recently I read Dr Aviv's low acid book and he says that it's best to eat something 30 mins after to activate the ppi. He said that a lot of people take them wrong as drs give this information or some people leave it too long so they do not work aswell
