Hi
As per your medical history,you were taking Rantac ,Pantaprazole and now Esmoprazole.
Acidity can be caused by many factors like Infection with Helicobacter Pylori ,Diet,Alchohol,Pain killers etc.
So,the cause has to be found out.
Please avoid eating Spicy ,Masala foods.Eat food regularly.Eat XXXXXXX leafy vegetables and fruits.Do not skip any meal.
Do not smoke if you are a smoker.
Do not take Alchohol if you are taking it .
Avoid taking Analgesics and anti inflammatory drugs,steroids.
Even though Endoscopy is normal,you have to take drugs as you are having symptoms of it.
In my experience,better results were obtained with the combination of Rabeprazole and Domperidone.It should be taken for 8 weeks or till symptoms subside.
You should avoid tension,have good sleep.
If the symptoms are still present,go for a Anti H.Pylori treatment Where Antibiotics are added along with PPI inhibitor like Esmoprazole.
Nothing to worry.
If you have further queries,feel free to ask.
I will come back to you
Wish you good health.

Hi
You have taken H.pylori kit as the result was positive.
In 2012,there has been revision in the treatment of H.Pylori.Instead of three drugs four drugs have to be taken.
Bismuth + PPI like Rabeprazole + Metronidazole + Tetracycline has to be taken for 2 weeks.
Then continue with Rabeprazole + Domperidone should be taken for 8 weeks or till your acidity comes down.
Stomach cancer is diagnosed by Endoscopic biopsy of any suspected Ulcer/Growth in the Stomach.
Symptoms of Stomach cancer are non specific like pain in upper abdomen,Anorexia (loss of appetite),Loss of body weight,anaemia etc.
Japanese will undergo Endoscopy test regularly ,even with out symptoms,as it is more prevalent there. Its not common in India.
Acidity can be reduced with the drugs and also with the above mentioned dietary recommendations. Apart from that,cool drinks should also be avoided.
Daily,you should drink water between 3-4 litres.It has to be increased in Summer.
Wish you good health
