Suggest Treatment For Gastritis And Acid Reflux
Question: Hi,
I have been having acidity problems for a long time now. I have tried several remedies but am still unable to find a solution to that. I am taking Sompraz - D (Esomeprazole 40mg with Domperidone 30 mg) and Espumisan Gold (Simethicone) but am still not seeing complete relief due to these. My main problem is that I get headache/nausea, feel very drowsy after meals, and I am unable to focus on work and think actively. One triggering point for severe acidity that I have observed is Sweets, which I am avoiding as much as possible. However, my main concern is that acidity is causing problems with concentration, alertness and moreover is not subsiding significantly with the strong medicines that I am taking.
Please advise the right course of action.
Regards,
XXXXXX

Thanks Doctor. I have a question. should I take Sompraz-D twice a day? Or should I take Simethicone? When I take Simethicone, I sometimes feel irritation in the bowel and have loose motions. I actually want to avoid Simethicone. Is there a better alternative to that?
