How long does it take to digest all your food?
I have to take this pill (carafate) on an empty stomach and I can't take it in the morning cuz I take another pill(nexium) that will interact with it. How long can I wait to take my meds? I'm thinking before lunch time.

it can take days.. especially meats. if a pill directions says to take it on an empty stomach it doesnt mean literally. just wait some hours after eating to take it.

you really need to check with a healthcare professional for this. try a pharmacist for free, professional advice.

If you are suppose to take it on an empty stomach .. anywhere from 2 to 4 hours between meals is how long it can take. Good Luck !

you should have spoken with your doctor or pharmacist. Usually you should wait atleast 5 hrs in between but it depends how bad your acid reflex is..Speak with your doctor
