Brief Answer:
follow the advises.. maintain a healthy lifestyle..

Detailed Answer:
Hello, Welcome back to HCM,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern,

Your symptoms seem to appear due to acid-peptic disease (gastric problems) and/ due to some food/beverage consumed recently which aggravated it..
You need to start taking a PPI medication (antacid) i.e. Cap PANTOPRAZOLE 40mg, Once daily in empty stomach (15-20 min before breakfast and before dinner), continue it for at least next 15 days and observe how you stay (it's mostly available over the counter only, so you shouldn't have any problem obtaining)..

Is there any loose motion also ?

Any pain abdomen ?

Please stay well hydrated by drinking a lot of water (it's extremely important to avoid the hard consistency of the stool, another cause for bloating and gas production), have plenty of fresh fruits, and include fresh green leafy vegetables and salads in your daily diet.

Medicine alone won't be sufficient to resolve the gastric problems, please avoid junk/ deep fried/ spicy foods for the time being..have simple home cooked meals.. avoid any form of soda/smoking/alcohol (if you do)..

Eat in small portion but frequent meals instead of any large portion meals, try to chew the foods properly, do not eat in a hurry, also try not to talk during eating, start practising to take your dinner 2-2.5 hrs prior to your bedtime..

It'll be beneficial for you to start taking Yogurt on daily basis, they are rich in healthy bacteria for your gut functioning..

Try to avoid milk in direct form.. also avoid certain foods which predispose to excessive gas formation (i.e. Cabbage, cauliflower , turnips, radish etc.)..

Avoid fizzy carbonated beverages.. take fresh fruits instead of packaged fruit juices..

Just follow all these instructions at first, and let me know how you stay in the due course..

Take Care
Kind Regards
