Sandy, if it was me, I would switch to carafate and simethicone for a while
instead of the pepcid. Carafate does a nice job of coating an ulcer if given
20 minutes before eating. Simethicone helps with the gurgling stomach by
absorbing excess gas. Pepcid should not be given with carafate. If things
aren't better in a few days, you can always switch back.
