Hey john,

I think its important to try and have a full stomach before taking your tablets (even if you have to force yourself). Also my sister takes Losec which is a medication which helps settles  a burning tummy.

I hope it gets better soon.

I use Prilosec otc, started with 20mg then had to go to 40mg. They help lots for the burning. If you are getting sick to the stomach ask your doctor for a nausea medication. More pills yes, but they do help.
