I just got back XXXX yesterday. On the last day there (3 days ago), I woke up to pain in the upper chest, bloating , burping, farting, constipation (almost 3 days), hurts when I eat. Have been taking antacids to get through eating. Last night when I got home (XXXXX), I started taking psyllium husk and acidophilus. I finally went to the bathroom today, but my stool is really gooey and weird...

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

Most of your symptoms might be attributed to acidity or indigestion. I would suggest that you take PANTOPRAZOLE 40mg one tablet daily half an hour before breakfast for a week.

The gooey stool might be due to psyllium husk. I would advice you to have bland food. Avoid spicy, oily food. Have rice gruel twice a day. Have warm water at regular intervals.

If the chest pain and gooey stools persists, please visit your physician.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
