General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are in.

Your symptoms are indicative for possible food indigestion most probably due to:
- getting cold easily
- gastritis/GERD
- do not chew up slowly/properly
- food intolerance

I advise to take:
- omeprazole or other PPIs for at least 2 weeks
- take antacids after eating
- simethicone for bloating
- eat often and small portions
- chew up slowly, do not rush
- avoid citrus or oily/fried foods that can decrease stomach acidity
- increase water intake

If no improvement within 2 weeks, then, should consult with GI specialist and run:
- upper endoscopy
- abdominal ultrasound
- examination of stool for ova/parasites
- culture of feces

to determine the right cause and decide for the most appropriate treatment.

Wish fast recovery!
Dr.Albana
