Hi,

As per your complain you have problem of gastroesophageal reflux disease that can treated by proper diet and lifestyle modifications like. Avoid citrus, spicy food fatty foods, coffee and chocolate etc. Eat a small amount of meal and chew properly. Milk thistle helpful in acid reflux. Drink unboiled milk that help in acidity. Proton pump inhibitor drugs most commonly used in reflux disease. Avoid immediate lying down after meal. Elevate your head during sleeping by two cushion. Avoid stress and anxiety. Drink more water per day. Avoid gaseous foods like cabbage, cauliflower and carbonated drinks etc.
