Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for posting your query.
You seem to be suffering from gastritis exaggerated by fasting.
You may take proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole twice a day on empty stomach on the days you are fasting.
Ideally smaller non fatty and non spicy meals should be taken to prevent gastritis symptoms. But I understand this might not be possible due to your fasting this month.
You can also try antacids like digene 3 teaspoon twice daily perhaps in the morning and evening hours for additional benefits.
Hope all this helps. Let me know if you have any other concerns.
Regards
Dr. Rajat Gupta
