I'm a 33 year old female. 3 nights ago, I was woken up by intense stomach pains (right in the bottom/center of my ribs) that felt like they were coming in waves lasting about 3-5 seconds. I was eating Gaviscon tablets all night, which helped for about 25 minutes at a time. I have absolutely NO history of stomach issues or even heartburn. I've been taking Prevacid for 2 days and its helping though I still take Gaviscon liquid in the morning and when I go to bed. Today my stomach has been making noises and when the cramps peak, there is a gurgling noise and it feels good, like pressure is being released. Any ideas what this could be or suggestions for natural remedies? I hate to be dependent on medication...
