Brief Answer:
Disturbed gastro intestinal flora.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic for your query.
The problem you are having is gastritis along with disturbed Gastro intestinal flora.The intestinal microflora is a complex ecosystem containing over 400 bacterial species. Anaerobes outnumber facultative anaerobes. The flora is sparse in the stomach and upper intestine, but luxuriant in the lower bowel.The intestinal flora is capable of fermenting indigestible carbohydrates (dietary fiber) to short-chain fatty acids such as acetate, propionate, and butyrate. The major source of such fermentable carbohydrate in the human colon is plant cell wall polysaccharides such as pectins, cellulose, and hemicellulose. The acids produced from these fiber substrates by bacteria can be an important energy source for the host.
The gut flora helps to neutralise some of the toxic by-products of digestion, reduce harmful substances (such as toxins and carcinogens), and discourage 'bad' bacteria and yeasts. It also helps to stimulate the digestive process and aid the absorption of nutrients, as well as producing vitamins including B and K.
So any problem with this flora causes symptoms like gastric pain,burping,poor digestion etc.
I would suggest you to take probiotics for few weeks.Probiotics will help to restrore the depleted intestinal flora,Along with probiotics B complex are to be taken.Once the flora is replenished all problems related to digestion will improve.
Along with it pantroprazole 40mg can be taken once daily to provide symptomatic relief in burping and bloating.
Some general instructions are-
Try to take lots of yoghurt in food.
Avoid smoking and alcohol.
No spicy oily food.
No fast food like pizza,burgers etc.
Dring plenty of water.
Take isapghullu husk 2tsf once daily before going to bed.
Eat a lot of vegetable and fibrous fruits.
Eat Pear and Oranges in fruits.
Follow up after a week!
Thanks

Folow up answer
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Mild inflammation will take some time to settle down,Things will get better gradually.
There is no magic formula so just try to follow all advice,Don't panic be patient and gradually things will start getting better.
1 kg fruit per day should not be taken,You need 30-40grams of total fibres in your diet every day,So 400-500 grams of fruits is more then enough.Try to include fruits rich in fibres like oranges and peers also.
It takes years for inflammatory disease to develop into cancer.So just follow the precautions i adviced above .
Follow up after 4 weeks.
Thanks
