Why do we need food in thr stomach for some medicines, and based on this, is there a “best food” to have before taking medicine?
In: 382
Some medicines can be very irritating to the stomach, and food reduces the irritation and build up of acid in the stomach that might cause heartburn / reflux.
There’s really no best food, other than avoiding food that you already experience discomfort eating. It’s more a matter of quantity and a small snack or light meal should suffice for most people. If you notice stomach irritation, take the medication with a larger meal.
