Brief Answer:
Take a proton pump inhibitor, and a prokinetic agent

Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thanks for putting your query in hcm. For acidity I will advise you to take a proton pump inhibitor like rabeprazole along with a prokinetic agent like domperidone. Also avoid spicy and fatty meals. For bloating you should avoid food items that produce gas like dairy products, cabbage, beans, pulses and rice. Take capsule simethicone and tablet gasex by himalaya company. These two medicines I found very useful in my patients with bloating symptoms. Also do reguar exercise may be a brisk walk daily. Avoid smoking if you do. I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health.

Dairy products, cabbage, beans, pulses and rice - Shall I stop eating all types of pulses or some specific pulses?

Lemon, Coconut Water - Are these ok to take?

Garlic - Two pieces of garlic early morning - Does that help?


Fruits like Apple, Banana, Orange - Does that helps?

Brief Answer:
Pulses, Lemon and orange will worsen the symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back. All kinds of pulses do produce gas. Lemon and orange will increase acid production. Rest of the food items you have mentioned will not cause any harm. Garlic will rather be useful. Wish you a good health

Brief Answer:
There are lots seasonal fruits and vegetables which you can take

Detailed Answer:
Welcome back. I can understand your concerns. But still there are lots of seasonal vegetables and fruits apart from these. One more thing what you can do is self elimination of the items. It is not like that these all may worsen symptoms in all persons as everybody has different digestive and immune system. So what you can do try one by one these items if any of these worsen your symtom then avoid it otherwise continue with that. Wis you good health
