Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

It will be more helpful in planning your medical management if you mention the medicines you have taken for your problem.

After reading your I would like to advise that you can take an antacid like Omeprazole 40 mg along with Domperidone 30 mg once a day before breakfast.

Following precautions will be helpful :-
1. Avoid spicy and oily foods.
2. Do not miss a meal.
3. Avoid smoking/alcohol, if any.
4. Avoid self medication especially painkillers and steroids.
5. Drink lots of water daily.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
