Hi, Thanks for asking HCM.
If your all the investigations are within normal limits then possibility of Acid Peptic Disorder is strong possibility.
You should start with small frequent bland diet, fruits and vegetables to increase fiber content in food,and plenty of water.
Avoid aerated drinks, tea ,coffee for the time being.
Avoid big gap between to meals,healthy snacking can be done.
Avoid constipation by drinking lots of water and adding fiber content to your meal.You can also use mild laxative if required.
You can take Tab pantoprazole empty stomach if required.
If not improved in few days, you can see your doctor or even write to HCM.
Good day.
