03 Feb 2011 I used to have the worst feelings in my stomach, that "empty feeling" so i used to eat and eat everything that was really bad for me and i didnt realize that it was the food that i was eating that made the big affect to my empty feeling, i went to the doctor and my doctor prescribed me Ranitidine 150 mg twice a day and i feel relieved and very happy for who ever made this medication because i used to be scared that i would stay this way forever. even tho i read everything about acid reflux disease, i didnt have heartburn or any of the other random symptoms exept this very empty feeling and i didnt see anywhere on the web with information on this and ranitidine saved the day :)
