How To Heal Excessive Acidity With Heartburn And Vomit?
about 130 pounds five foot three, today during work I felt really faint and i really pushed myself i have been feeling something in my gut digestive system is off but seeing I have no insurance I don't know where to go tp find out. Today I had really bad heartburn my stomach was initially offset by a banana which I find odd. I puked about 15 times on AND off for a couple of hours. After everything was out of my stomach it felt like I was dripping brownish liquid that seemed really dense. Also during the episode it seemed that the puke was exiting through more then one passageway in my body. I feel like Its an acid overload but i also feel it could be more.Any suggestions?

Hi there,
Thanks for your query. More information is required.
However, if the problem is of long-standing duration, it is most likely Gastro-esophageal-reflux-disease (GERD) due to hyperacidity/stomach ulcers, along with a bacterial infection (H.pylori).
A 2-weeks' course of anti-H.pylori therapy + Prokinetic drug such as metoclopramide + Probiotic such as, Lactobacilli; followed by (with effect from Day 15), 3-6 months' course of anti-acid drug (such as Rabeprazole or Lansoprazole) plus Probiotic and digestive enzymes, will cure the disease.
You should however, consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, and will prescribe the advised curative treatment in appropriate doses.
If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.
