Hi

Thanks for writing in

Though the information provided in inadequate it seems you are suffering from reflux

Does undigested food particles come up with the burps?
Do you vomit out occasionally?
Any burning sensation in the chest ?

Are you constipated ?
Do you pass mucus in stool ?

Have you undergone any investigations ? If yes please share them with me

This information will help me guide you better

Thanks doctor for response.

No undigested food particles comes up durjng burp, also no vomit. One time i feels pain near chest and went to clinic, they took ecg and said normal. Normally i constipate if i am not having rice as my food, if i eat rice no constipation, or no mucus in stool.

Also some time i feel my upper abdoman is bloated.

Brief Answer:
A Probiotic will help

Detailed Answer:
Hi Thanks for writing in again
The information points to a possibility of collitis

I would suggest you go for a good Probiotic along with pantoprazole and domperidone

If this does not work get your stool culture done and start antibiotics according to the report

Hope this clears your doubts
Wishing you a healthy life ahead
