Brief Answer:
Do you have constipation alternating with your diarrhea?

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. The first thing that I need to ask is whether you have diarrhea alternating with constipation. Our gastrointestinal tract has a forward propulsive movement (peristalsis) that moves the food material forward as it is digested, absorbed and finally expelled as feces. If somehow this movement gets hampered, food along with the digestive juices would stagnate, stomach acid will reflux into the food pipe and you would get the burning sensation you describe. On the other hand the bowel habits would not be proper. Degradation of undigested food in the intestines by the intestinal bacteria would lead to the excess gas formation.

In order to relieve yourself, you need to do the following:
* Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
* Avoid alcohol intake (if it a part of your habit).
* Take Prilosec (omeprazole) once daily before breakfast.
* Take plenty of green leafy vegetables as well as other sources of dietary fibers. Take fiber supplements like isabgol/psyllium husk or senna. I would insist you to increase your dietary fiber intake. You need to ensure intake of soluble fibers. They are found in:
-Legumes. Legumes consist of seeds that are covered by a pod or shell.
-Grains. Oatmeal is whole grain, which means it contains the germ, endosperm and XXXXXXX
-Fruits
-Vegetables
-Flaxseeds
* Regular morning walk and exercise to keep the bowel movements proper.
* Take curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and should help.
* Stress reduction has a very important role to play. Yoga and meditation should help.
* Be sure to take ORS (oral rehydration solution) and plenty of fluids when you have diarrhea.

Hopefully that should help.

Let me know if I could help further.
