Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you are having your symptoms due to increased acidity in the stomach resulting in gastritis.

You should get an Endoscopy done to confirm the diagnosis.

You can take antacid like Omeprazole 40 mg along with Domperidone 10 mg once a day before breakfast.

Following precautions will be helpful :-
1. Avoid spicy and oily foods.
2. Do not miss a meal.
3. Avoid emotional/mental stress.
4. Do not self medicate, especially with pain killers and steroids.
5. Avoid gas producing foods like peas, legumes, etc.
6. Drink lots of water daily.
7. Do not talk while eating.
8. Do not eat fast.

I would suggest that you should consult your doctor for clinical examination.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
