Suggest Treatment For Acid Reflux

I have had problems with acid reflux and stomach problems now for many years. As a child I had pyloric stenosis. I am 56 although apparently shortly after being born in the hospital for quite some time. I did not have surgery. Since about 32 years of age I have had reflux problems, IBS, different food allergies yearly causing more acid reflux, diarrhea daily and sometimes in the middle of the night, discomfort down the middle of my stomach where the rib cage ends along with a hardness there that when rubbed causes me to burp. I go for an endoscopy every 2 - 3 years, no doctor appointment or personal follow-up and have been told I have esophageal varices approx. 2 years ago. Is there any chance that the problems as a baby with my pyeloric valve could again be causing this uncomfortable, sometimes painful, and bloating feeling?

Hello
I had gone through your question diligently and I will try to help you out in best possible way

gas in abdomen and loose stools can be caused by food poisoning, gastroenteritis, colitis or worm infestation and intestinal hypermotility
Apart from drugs Acid reflux can be manged with certain dietary and life style modifications like
Avoid fatty fried spicy and junk food or carbonated drinks
Have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables
You can take curd, cold milk or fruit juices

In my opinion you should consult your doctor for examination and stool test for ova cyst or parasite
You may require a course of antibiotics like tinidazole or metronidazole and probiotics

meanwhile try to observe good hygiene
wash his hands with antiseptic soap or solution after using wash room
give him plenty of fluids including ORS to avoid dehydration and electrolyte imbalances
have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables or dietary fibers
Hope this answers your question
Best wishes
