Hello and welcome to eHealth Forum!

You will be surprised to know that stomach ulcers and severe acidity can result in hunger pangs which are felt as stomach pains early in the morning. Even GERD presents with similar symptoms. Nausea and vomiting are often accompanying symptoms. This can often be associated with irritable bowel syndrome that can cause loose motion, nausea and vomiting.

Treatment is a combination of drugs to reduce the acid and lifestyle changes. Omeprazole is a good drug to combat this. Along with it you can try over the counter antacids. However I would recommend you see a doctor and take medication under a doctor’s supervision. Avoid heavy meals and eat frequent small meals. Avoid too much of caffeine, tea, fried food and drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic fuzzy ones. Avoid heavy exercises within 4 hours of a heavy meal. Raise the head end of the bed by pillows to 30 degrees. Go to bet at least 2 hours after food. Maybe these tips will help you. Also increase fiber in your diet.

Another possibility is intolerance to gluten or lactose. You should see a gastroenterologist (a specialist who looks after the diseases of our digestive system). Since a confirmed diagnosis cannot be given on net please discuss these possibilities with your doctor once. Hope this helps. Take care!
