Question: Hello Doctor,
I have been suffering from acidity for long now. I have this burning sensation in my stomach almost daily. I take ranitidine which helps. but any irregularity in my daily diet schedule or sometimes taking spicy food will make my stomach burn after some time. Is their any permanent cure?

Greetings of the day
The most commonest cause for repeated problems with acidity considering your young age would be following
1. Irregular food habits
2. Stress and worry
3. Weather: Hot weather may worsen the symptoms
4. Helicobacter Pylori infection: Most commonest cause for acid peptic disease at your age group would be Duodenal Ulcer which could likely be due to H Pylori infection
Here is definite protocol i would recommend you currently. Majority of my patients have been benefited with similar complaints
The most important is Eradication of H Pylori infection: Individual not responding to routinely used antacids are default put on H Pylori erradication. There are many commercial kits available like Ulcikit, HP Kit. 1 kit per day for 14 days would suffice . After that continuing Proton pump inhibitor like Lansoprozole once a day for 1 month will be beneficial.
Here are some other lifestyle modifications.
1. Regular intake of food
2. Consume small quantity of frequent meals
3. Avoid spicy/ Oily food
4. Do not sleep immediately after taking food
5. A short walk after meals will be helpful
If the symptoms still persist you will require Gastroscopy for further evaluation.
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take Care
