Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Prune juice is quite acidic in nature. The symptoms you are having are related to gastro-esophageal reflux and gastritis which is caused by excessive acid secretion and irritation of the lining of the stomach.
This causes a variety of symptoms including pain in the abdomen, nausea, dizziness and vomiting.
I recommend you go to the pharmacy to obtain omeprazole 20 mg tablets.
You should take one tab with breakfast and one with dinner for 7 days. After 7 days you should take one with breakfast only for 21 more days. This should promote healing and resolution of your symptoms.
Avoid oily and spicy food.Also reduce tea, coffee, alcohol , smoking.Drink at least 2 litres of water everyday. Eat dinner 2 hrs before sleeping .
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
