Suggest Remedies For Persistent Acid Reflux
Question: Hello,
Many years, I have continuous gas problem in my stomach. I have to burp constantly. Whatever I eat, it creates gas. Even drinking water creates gas. I don’t want to over the counter anti-gas tablets continuously because they have ingredients like Simethicone that has side effects for liver, etc. About ten years ago, Doctor checked my stomach and did not see anything serious like cancer or ulcer and he removed a small pulp which was not cancerous. I tried some herbs but did not help.
I appreciate if you can help me with my problem.
Thanks,
Sal

Detailed Answer:
Dear SAl,
You are reporting to have had burp for many years. This symptom is usually associated with
- GERD (acid reflux )
- swallowing air during the meal
- SIBO ( rarely)
To my opinion you should do :
- upper endoscopy to check for acid reflux
- 24 h PH metry of esophagus
If I were your treating doctor I would suggest to :
- use PPI 's like Pantoprazole up to 80 mg per day
- use pro-kinetic drugs like domeperidon
- eat often and small amount of meal
- avoid as possible to swallow air during meal
- avoid soft drinks, chocolate, coffee,tea
- avoid beans, broccoli
- lay down 3-4 hours after meal
Hope it was helpful to you.
