Apart from these , my experience was like someone is poking from my stomach. Unable to sleep last nigth due to this. Is this due to GAS effect. Gas releasing was not easy since then but had a 3 times nature call from the early morning 1 am to 11 am morning.

Brief Answer:
Likely to be acid peptic disease

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Dear Mr XXXX

Going by description of your symptoms it is possibly due to acid peptic disease, causing flatulent dyspepsia.

I would suggest you the following

1. Acid Suppressant like Pantoprozole along with antiemetic like Domperidone will be helpful. They are usually available as over the counter medication.

2. Regular intake of meals : Have small quantity of meals more frequently

3. Ensure adequate intake of water : 2 to 3 liters a day

4. High fiber diet : 2 servings of vegetable salad and 2 servings of fruits especially citrus fruit will ensure adequate intake of fiber.

5. Avoid alcohol / carbonated / caffeinated beverage

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Take care

Best regards
Dr Deepak
