Need Medication For Stomach & Acidity After Having Food
Hello, I've been having problems eating if I eat most anything my stomach starts to hurt it feels like acid is burning thru the front. Most of the time after I eat I throw it back up later. I have Omeprazole 20mg I was told to take once in the morning by my dr but its not helping. Any ideas on what to do?
Hi. Thanks for your query. Noted the history and understood your concerns. Starting of stomach pains an eating anything, feeling like acid is burning through the front indicate that there may be acidity related problem like Gastritis, ulcer or so. Hence I would advise you the following as Omeprazole is not helpful: Upper GI Endoscopy to have the most proper diagnosis. H. pylori test. Tests of stool: Routine and occult blood. Tests of blood. Clinical evaluation and examination by a Gastroenterologist. Barium swallow and follow-through. These will give us the most probable diagnosis and gives a plan of proper management. Continue Omeprazole. Antacid every three hourly. Soft bland diet and small frequent meals. Avoidance of stress and anxiety is the mainstay in most of the cases. Avoid all the foods and beverages that instigate or enhance the problems to get better.
