Suggest Treatment For Acid Reflux, Headache And Heartburn
Question: Hi my wife and i just got home 2 weeks ago from philippine. As soon as I got there I started getting some heart burn. I have acid reflux and take pantalog and never seem to get heart burn. We did get a little sick for a day or two with dieria headache while we were there. Now that were home still kinda bothering us. I was thinking maybe have sort of bacteria in stomach.

Brief Answer:
Traveller's diarrhea is a possibility. Need evaluation
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read yoru question and i understand your concern. Stomach flu / gastroenteritis is a possibility in recent travellers. If you still have diarrhea or acid reflux, i would like you to get evaluated by a simple stool RE exam and see what comes up . Till then BRAT diet ( Banana rice applesauce and toast) and green tea and pomegranate juices will help. Whether you need medication or not your stool work up will tell.
I hope it helps. Take good care of both of yourselves and dont forget to close the discussion please.
