Question: Hi Doctor. Iam getting treated for Migraine and hyper acidity. I am having the following symptoms. Cannot tolerate any spicy food, Even food with the small amount of spice ( red chilly, green chilly, ginger, garlic ) immediate symptoms is creation of a lot of gas and passing of gas. next it slowly develops into an headache. The headache is one sided either on the backside of the head, one side of the head, behind the eye ball etc. There is a lot of strain in the eye and I get sensitive to light. some time it becomes migraine. Eating food with tamarind, get acidity with burning sensation in the chest. And have the bitter sour taste in the mouth. Currently eating food without any spice. Get temporary relief with Antacids. Started H-Pylori kit had to discontinue since had bad dysentery. Visited a Gastro entrologist. He suggested to take Betacap TR 40 everyday. I was asked do a check my Vitamin B level and it was normal. My migraine and stomach issue didnt improve. I still had the following symptoms Took spicy food in small quantities could feel burning sensation in my throat and stomach. So the doctor suggested an endoscopy. The endoscopy result findings has come as "OESOPHAGITIS Grade A" I was advised NexPro for 6 weeks. I have the following questions I understand that the Oesophagitis is due to inflammation of the Oesophagus. But does the following symptom due to this. 1) Sour taste in mouth 2) Gas or bloated feeling 3) intolerance of spicy food. What is the cause of the excessive acidity in my stomach. ? Is Oesophagitis an side effect of my hyper acidity. Thanks XXXX

Hello Doctor, Thanks for the details response on this subject. Few more final questions 1) How important is it to take the NexPro medicine in empty stomach to be effective? Since I take my Thyroid medicine at 7.45, Have a Tea at 8.20am and take NexPro at 9.00. Is this sufficient ? Or can I take it at before lunch when my stomach is much more empty. 2) What are the kind of foods that are good for my condition? Regards XXXX
