Hi, To much acidity can damage your gastric mucosal lining and will lead to ulcer formation, so, you should first of all try to avoid drinking alcohol and smoking as much as possible and then stop completely later on. Take small meals at frequent interval, avoid lying down immediately after meal and snacks near to bed time. Avoid spicy & fatty food, chocolate, garlic, onion. A 24 hour pH measurement, endoscopy is essential to confirm the diagnosis. Take high fibre diet, fruits and a good amount of water. Tab pan 40 twice daily 1/2 hour before meal, mucaine suspension 1 tbs. twice daily. Consult a physician for diagnosis and further treatment accordingly. Thank for consulting HCM .
