Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
Your change in diet to fruits, vegetables, yogurts, beans and caffeine free green tea can also be the reasons for constipation and weight loss. It is great that your BMI now is 19, absolutely healthy, it would be wise to have slow comeback to normal usual diet without oils and fats to maintain.
It is also needed to have additional tests of CT scan of the abdomen and colonoscopy to rule out cancer of the bowel as this too can be the cause of your symptoms and needs to be ruled out strictly as this is a dreaded disease.
You can take Isabgol husk with warm water in the dosages that help have regular and normal diet.
Heartburn is classically due to reflux that is GERD and hence a PPI like Omeprazole and antacid when on empty stomach should help you well.
Domperidone at 8 hourly interval helps to have normal motility of the bowel and avoids reflux.
