Brief Answer: Surgical Gastroenterologist Detailed Answer: Hello XXXX I understand your concern towards your husband. It seems like your husband is suffering from acid peptic disease. This needs thorough evaluation in the form of upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy, testing for H. Pylori infection, basal acid output test, if required. You must take him to a Surgical gastroenterologist who can perform these tests. Regards,
