Hi.
Thanks for your query in HCM. I am Dr.Aliem, and I am pleased to help you.
First of all, I want to reassure you that the gastroenteritis that you suffered was only a milder illness since you have recovered. There is nothing much to worry about it. The heart burns and chest pains that you have now, may be due to acidity/mild gastritis (i.e inflammation of your stomach only) that persists. This is usually occurs in some. I suggest that

1. Take bland diet.
2. Take timely meals. Don't be hungry for too long.
3. Avoid tea/coffee
4. Avoid taking pain killers
5. Try antacid syrup 2 tsp, 3 times a day and at bedtime
Try it for a day or two. If these symptoms persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
