Brief Answer:
Try giving omeprazole and see if it helps

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. It seems that your husband could have gastritis. You can try giving him omeprazole once daily before breakfast and see if it helps. I do not think that it has any correlation to the kidney stone. However, a proper clinical evaluation would be needed to confirm. If apprehensive, you can visit a doctor for the same.

I think the image attached was incorrect.
