It really depends on what kind of gastric problem you have.  If you are having heart burn, to prevent it after the meal, try taking something such as Pepcid or Zantac at least 30 minutes before you eat.  This decreases the amount of acid produced.

The time is not important, neither is whether you take it with food or not. Just make sure you take the entire course of pills prescribed to you.

All vitamins should be taken with a meal.  Don't overdo E.  The super B will contain B-12 so you may want to space those out.  Be careful with doseages!

Try taking it after you have eaten. Most daily vitamins make you wanna puke, if you take them on an empty stomach. Ask any pregnant women who takes her prenatal vitamins

the meds that you mentioned are indeed related to each other. Taking any strong pain killer on an empty stomach will make anyone sick. It not only causes nausea, but lightheadedness & even sweating. That's why the prescription bottle should say to take with food.

I'd take 600-800 mg ibuprofen an hour or so prior to your visit.  Use Advil Liqui-Gel, because they will be in your system faster.  You can also swallow them with almost no water at all, if you have to be without food or drink.

First of all take plenty of water, avoid chilli foods, fast food, food from outside, oily food, take lot of green vegetables and fruits, fresh salads, lot of curd and yoghart. Do not miss any meals, when you skip meals then only the noises come. This gastric problem will go once you follow all of them consistantly. sleep for a minimum of 6 hours, dont over stress yourself, go for walk or jogging if you can. This does not affect sexual life.

Those diet pills have caffine in them. you shouldn't take them after dinner or I'd say after lunch. \n\nI don't take them at all.\n\nEat a lot of fiber, fiber makes you feel full. Your body wants to eat, and your brain isn't telling what your body what it should eat. It'll just eat until it's full\n\nWhat your body really wants is fiber and protein.\n\nLess fat too\n\nAnd it's spelled lose.

Eat more slowly. \nChew your food thoroughly. \nAvoid gum chewing. \nRelax while you eat. \nAvoid beans, cabbage, and carbonated beverages. \nTry Beano, a product sold over-the-counter at most drugstores, if you eat a lot of beans, fruits, vegetables, and other high-fiber foods. \nWalk for 10 to 15 minutes after eating. \nDrink peppermint or chamomile tea after a meal. \nIn the case of those with lactose intolerance, intestinal bacteria feeding on lactose can give rise to excessive gas production when milk or lactose-containing substances have been consumed.\nPlease see the webpages for more details on Flatulence.

Sounds like something is wrong with your digestive system. Better see a Gastrologist.

it would be better if you take it before the meal. i have tried that before and usually if you take it before the meal, you will have the feeling that your stomach is already full, that would let you eat less.

there are no alternatives to meds that i know of. if your meds help you mentally then you need them. the problem with you stomach is possibly due to the fact that the dosage is to high. or maybe you have developed a stomach ulcer that your medication is a irritant to. i would suggest consulting you dr. asap because it can only get worse. ask him to possible give you a sample of previcid it is a med. for all sorts of stomach irritants. or ask him to switch you to another brand of meds.

Some drugs have to be taken without food because digestion reduces it's absorption.  Some drugs should be taken with food, because it can be harsh on your stomach.
