Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for your reply. I have some more questions regarding my disease.

I am taking this medication for 3 weeks now. But I still feel burning in my upper stomach whenever I eat little spicy food. H.Pyroli was also found in my upper stomach in 2015. I doubt may be H.Pylori is still there. Stool antigen test was done in Apr 2016 and it was negative. But I doubt, may be H.Pylori is not completely eradicated.

Q1) Why am I feeling burning in my upper stomach only where H.Pylori is found?
Q2) Sometimes in the morning when I a take my breakfast little late, I vomit green color liquid. Why is that? How can I stop it?
Q3) I hiccup all the time during a day after a meal or before a meal. Its taste is very sour. Why is that? and what can I do to stop it?
Q4) Should I stop taking acidic foods? and only eat alkaline foods?
Q5) What should be difference between my dinner and night sleep and breakfast?

---- Avoid coffee, citrus, chocolates, tomatoes, onion, peppermint, fatty food, spicy/masala food

Q5) What should be difference between my dinner and night sleep and breakfast?
