Suggest Treatment For Acid Reflux And Gastritis
Hello,
For the past few days my husband has been having burps that smell like poop. He has no fevers, does not feel ill, nor had any diarrhea or vomiting. He sometimes gets acid reflux but has not had this issue in a while. We are just wondering why this is happening.

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of acid reflux and gastritis which is very common problem which is due to delayed opening of sphincters leading to excessive production of bile. Need not to worry. Treatment of acid reflux depend upon taking medicine and alteration in lifestyle. I would suggest you to avoid spicy and heavy meal specially at night. Eat at least one hour before going to bed, take a light walk for 15-20 mins after every meal , take antacid after every meal like gelusil. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and start treatment after complete prescription. Avoid taking outside food. You should take plenty of fluids.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
