i have stomach problems. sometimes i have to wake up in the middle of the night because of horrible stomach pain. the only thing that takes it away is like bread type foods or something very filing whats the best low cal thing i can eat so i dont waste all my calories in the middle of the night

    I would go see your doctor---Stomach pains are hard to live with unless of course it is hunger pangs then I think you should probably eat more during the day of the good stuff

    Have you tried pretzels or saltine crackers with skim milk?

    If you are eating enough calories during the day and the pain persists, you probably should have a doctor evaluate the possibility that you have an underlying problem like an ulcer or something else.

    See your doctor - it could be acid reflux "GERD". Could be other things too so have it checked.

    you probably don't need acid reflux meds. I've been through the ringer on that one, and discovered that I have LOW stomach acid. google it. it has the same symptoms as HIGH stomach acid. serious. take some apple cider...if it goes away, that is the problem. if it gets worse, than you have too much stomach acid.
    but low stomach acid can make your tummy KILL...you need to take apple cider vinegar and betaine pills (which is stomach acid) ...wow, what a life saver for me.
    good luck
