What Is The Treatment For Burning In The Stomach?
My mom is complaining about constant burning in her upper stomach and back on the left side. Then she will express the burning radiates to her lower back, legs, arms (whole body). She is not diabetic but she is very emotional. She experiences depression in the past.

Hi,welcome to the HCM.
Since burning and pain in stomach can be caused by acidity ,gas or gastric ulcer in the stomach which can cause uncomfortable feeling in whole body.
I would like to know wether this pain starts before meal or after meal.As stress is the major culprit causing gastric ulcer or peptic ulcer too.I would suggest your mother shoud avoid spicy, fried , heavy meal, start exercising and get a visit to gastroentrologist for discussing about endoscopy or 24 hr PH monitering test to rule out the cause of burning in left side.

Dr.Maheshwari
