Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

The current issue seems to be gut flora disturbances related issue from various possible causes. I recommend following at present
- Consume more liquids.
- Bland, vegan diet with organic fresh fruits.
- Continue PPI medications.
- Avoid all spices, non-veg, junk foods.
- No smoking or alcohol if consuming.
- Maintain to have regular sound sleep of 7-8 hours.
- Check to have regular smooth bowel evacuation, feel free to discuss the need of probiotics, bowel regulators, antibiotics as per the case need from time to time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
