Experiencing Gas And Burning Sensation In Stomach After Endoscopy. Can It Be Due To Ulcers?
I just had an upper endoscopy yesterday and I am experiencing a lot of gas, not hungry and a burning sensation at the top of my stomach. My doctor sails he found some ulcers. Is this common? I have had the same procedure before but never felt like this.

Hello dear,
As detected by upper GI endoscopy & revealed by your doctor, you have Peptic ulcers, which are caused due to increased acid production in the stomach.
The reason for increased acid production can be Stress, inappropriate diet & lifestyle methods or infection associated with a type of bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H pylori).
Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole, Pantoprazole,etc. (which prevent acid formation in stomach)
It is also needed that you take certain precautions regarding your diet & lifestyle, such as:
1. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods
2. Drink lots of water to maintain adequate hydration
3. Avoid smoking & consuming irritating substances such as acidic & rich foods, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol.
4. Have your meals regularly and at appropriate time of the day. Do not skip breakfast.
5. Keep away stress, think positive.
6. Exercise regularly & practice meditation.
7. Avoid medicines like Ibuprofen, Diclofenac, etc for pain relief. They may further aggravate the condition.
8. Avoid staying awake late at nights. Get sufficient sleep.
There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Wishing a good health.
Take care.
