Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Non vegetarian food is known to precipitate GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
So best treatment is to avoid such food.
Or you can give combination of pantoprazole and levosulperide twice daily on empty stomach.
This will definitely help in relieving symptoms after eating chicken.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing her good health. Thanks.
