Hi First of all, I am sorry you are going through this. I would like to know your age, medical problems, smoking habits and diet. you recently moved to India and changed your diet, right? Indian food is rich on carbohidrates and too spicy. It can cause constipation, flautulence (painful passage of gas) and gastric reflux. I would recommend you to increase fibers on your diet, eating more whole wheat products, vegetables and fibre-rich fruits (apple, pears, prune) and drinking more water. To get relieve on the acidity you can try over-the- counter tums (do not take too much bcause they can be dangerous if taking excessively), prilosec (omeprazole once daily for 4 weeks). Small and large meals are recommended Please let me know if it was helpful.
