Suggest Treatment For Severe Acid Reflux And Heartburn
Question: I feel like anything that I eat (even if it's just a salad) takes a long time to digest in my stomach. For example if I eat lunch at 11:30am I still feel full and burping whatever I ate for lunch at 4 or 5pm. On top of that every time I drink water I feel blowed. I do suffer from heartburn and acid reflux which keeps me awake through the night because the food that I had for dinner around 5pm comes up all the way in my mouth and I wake up around midnight, 1am and 2am. I'm not sure what is going on but it's really uncomfortable feeling. I'm a little guy and I've grown a belly that does not belong to my body. Please help!!!!
Brief Answer:
Take Neksium along a prokinetic agent along with lifestyle modification
Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist.
This all is due to reflux disease and dysmotility that is decreased motility of the stomach and intestine that you feel that food remains for longer period of time than normal. For this I will advise you to :
1.to avoid tea, coffee, oily and spicy food.
2.Also avoid citrus fruits.
3.Among medications take a neksium along with a prokinetic agent like domperidone or levosulpiride. It comes in combination. Along with this take tablet famotidine (brand name Topcid 40mg ) od after dinner. This combination I found very useful in my patients with Reflux disease.
4.Dont lie down at least for 2 hrs after any meal and
5. Dont drink water for at least 2 hrs with any meal.
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you . Wish you a good health
