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
