Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
My opinion-
IN the given situation, You seems to be having-GERD with IBS with mismanaged IBS.
Dear I would suggest you to Consult with
Second Opinion with another Specialist and get a third independant opinion, to avoid more delay in your recovery.
Other causes need to be ruled out after proper check up physically and after investigation from Physician and Surgeon if need be.
Do's-
Bland diet for 3-4 weeks, with liquid porridges and fruid juices.
Start with
Liquid diet with low volumes to avoid
indigestion caused by it.
Butter milk/ rice and banana diet x 3 times a day would recover fast.
Yoghurt to stabilize bacterial flora x 3-4 weeks.
Cap Prilosec-1 x 2 per day empty stomach
Tab
Zincovit 1 x 2 per day
Cap Meva-C-1 x 2 per day
Tab
Ciplox Oz-1 x 2 per day -all for 10 days to weeks time
Vit D3 +Vit B12 +
Folic acid- with Magnesium/Zinc/Calcium would recoup
malabsorption from indigestion caused over last many months since March.
If you feel good after 10 days of treatment, avoid GI Upper Scopy and continue for total of 4 weeks.
Review with HCM after that.
Rule out other causes,before concluding treatment on above lines.
