Suggest Treatment For Severe Acidity And Gas

I have been experiencing acid stomach and gas for a long time. I would occassionally experience what felt like my esophagus shutting down while eating. This would block the food from going down and I would have to regurgitate what ever I had eaten. My GI doctor scoped the esophagus but said that there was nothing wrong and he put me on opremisol. That stopped the symptoms, but I don t want to be on medication for the rest of my life, so how do I cope with this? I am looking for natural ways and lifestyle change.

thanks for writing,
first of all i would recommend you not to stop medications all by yourself without consulting your doctor,it may aggravate your symptoms .
as far as lifestyle modifications are concerned the best way is to modify your diet.diet high in fibres will help a lot.avoid tea ,coffie at all times,avoid spicy foods . also one of the best method is to have dinner atleast 3 to 4 hours before going to bed without eating anything in between.
also indulge yourself in light excercises that will also help a lot.quit smoking if you are a smoker.
thanks
