No pioglitazone doesn't have a side effect of causing acidity or food pipe burning sensation either. I would advise you to have antacids which would help in your situation. These following lifestyle changes will be of help: - Don't skip meals, you may not feel like eating but in such conditions you should have the reduced amount in frequent intervals(i.e. 3 square meals broken down to 5 or 6 as you can tolerate) and slowly increase as you get better. - Reduce/ Avoid spicy,fried, fatty, junk and oily food - Exercise regularly by doing exercises such as brisk walking or so - Increase daily intake of water to 3 liters - Reduce stress through methods such as yoga/meditation. - Avoid painkillers as it will increase your gastric problems at this moment. If the problem persists or worsens visit the nearest ER
