Suggest Treatment For Severe Acid Reflux In An Elderly Person
Question: Patient is 65 years old female, born in XXXXXXX currently residing in New York, USA for last 10 years.
She is suffering from digestive issues for the last 1 year. We have taken her to Gasentrologist and last year in May 2015, doctor performed Endoscopy and EUS to look into pancreas. Everything was normal except for H-pylori bacteria. Doctors suggested that no need to treat Hpylori if it does not bother her. But we still did it with a combination of 3 drugs clarithomycin, prilosec and flagyl. She could not continue with the 3 drugs and after 8 days we have to stop it . Since then her gas problem became worst. We took her back to gasentrologsit,,,they suggested over the counter probiotics medication and yogurt etc. Her recent blood work is normal. Her H-pylori bacteria still exist.We are even trying to consult Homeopathic doctors medication from XXXXXXX
Her current symtoms is--- loss of apetitie, burping, gas etc.
How to cure this? any kind of yoga? looks like medications are not working. She also has high blood pressure controlled by medications.
Please advice
