Question : I've had symptoms of stomach acid build up this month with a terrible acid burp, diarrhea, flatulence on three different occasion in one month. I'm worried that this acid reflux is getting worse. I,m up every hour going to the restroom. My stomach feels over bloated and I can feel the movement of the build up in my stomach as I turn over. What can I do? I take a generic of prisolec.

Brief Answer: Detailed below. Detailed Answer: Hello! Thank you for the query. Diarrhea is not a characteristic symptom for acid reflux disease. So this episode of diarrhea may be caused by some food poisoning not associated to the acid reflux. It is also possible that diarrhea and acid reflux are caused by gallstones. Usually it gives also upper right abdominal pain radiating to the back. To make your symptoms disappear you should: - avoid fatty foods, spicy foods, fried foods, alcohol, coffee, chocolate, orange juice - do not eat 2 hours before sleeping - Prilosec is a good medicine and should be taken once a day, in the morning before any meal If the symptoms wont go away, you should consult your doctor and have abdominal ultrasound and gastroscopy. In many cases Helicobacter Pylori is triggering such symptoms and without it eradication, you wont get a relief. Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions. Regards.
