Sometimes patients will feel worse after taking a medication designed to treat these very symptoms. These are usually individual reactions that certain patients experience.
Your options are to try a fast-acting antacid such as Gaviscon (acid be gone), or try something stronger such as OTC omeprazole, Nexium, lansoprazole.
Always consult with your physician if your symptoms do not go away.

It would be best if you came in for a full examination and we can take a
look at the options of adjusting the medication.

If you are getting a side effect to famotidine, then stop it and try prilosec or nexium for heartburn. If the gurgling sounds persist then try reducing carbohydrates in your diet.
