I am wondering if I can cut my fasting directly and eat or should I absolutely start with the meds and wait the 30min.

I take stomach medication (Pantoprazole, Teva-Famotidine, Apo-Domperidone) that I have to take 30min before meals except I have to fast during the day for religious reasons

Good morning, ma'am,
Famotidine can be taken at any meal.
Pantoprazole and domperidone in particular must be taken 30 minutes before a meal to ensure their effectiveness.
If this is not possible, I strongly suggest that you discuss the matter with your pharmacist who can evaluate the possibility of proposing an alternative to the prescriber that would remain effective while allowing you to take it at a more convenient time.
He/she will also be able to follow up closely with you.
