Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

I dr jadia have gone through your all posts and would suggest to do barium meal and follow up study to find the exact cause of this problem. And this is non invasive procedure and not harmful at all.

So consult your family physician and plan for this barium meal.

Meanwhile avoid any dairy products like milk, butter cheese. Avoid oily diet, processed food, and junk food.

Take fruits, green leafy vegetables, high fibre diet in meal. Avoid stress.

Hope i answered your question.
Would be happy to help you further.
Take care.
