I swear sometimes I'm dumber than a bag of hammers...
Exasperated sigh*
So I hate taking pills, and I decide to not take my PPI as regularly as I had been. No return of heartburn, so I quickly forgot about taking them at all. Enter intense head hunger and cravings for last 4-5 days, leaving me scratching my head wondering, why now? Then someone today asks for the millionth time....WHY AM I SO HUNGRY??? And for the millionth time, I see the first answer....are you taking your PPI?
I now see the light. DUH! Sometimes seeing the same damn question, and the same damn answer can make all the difference in the world when I am still operating with my same damn dumb brain.

Well you are in good company from someone who - after 18 months ought to freaking know better - just went 3 days without my PPI and I feel like dying. Except mine is nothing but physical hunger - today felt like pre-op kind of hunger. UGHH.
Must. Take. PPI.

PPI, Proton Pump Inhibitor (Not Protein ;)) Prilosecs, Nexiums etc that inhibit acid production in the stomach.
Wantmylife: ALL good points, but for me, I think I still need em. Until I get into some therapy to help deal with and identify triggers, issues, and strategies...I'll cave to cravings. With my stomach rumbling and carrying on, it just makes me focus on what I am not eating instead of the health I am gaining by changing bad habits. Does that make sense? In other words, if I don't feel hungry, its easier to escape my constant dwelling on food.
