What Causes Acid Reflux Along With Indigestion And Diarrhea?
For the past 3 days, I have been experiencing heartburn, indigestion, bloating, and diarrhea at night. My chest burns, and I have bad abdominal cramps. What could this be? I don’t see why it would be something I have ate my diet is and has always been pretty normal.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
As per your query you are having symptoms acid reflux along with indigestion and diarrhea which is a very common problem due to excessive production of acid. Need not to worry. Treatment of acid reflux depends upon taking medicine and alteration in lifestyle. You should take plenty of fluids. You should take oral rehydrating solution as well. Avoid spicy and heavy meal especially at night. Eat at least one hour before going to bed, take a light walk for 15-20 min after every meal, take antacid after every meal like Gelusil. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit gastroenterologist once and start treatment after complete prescription. Go for barium meal examination as well.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
