Hi,

Based on the history you have shared, using antacids like Omperazole before meals and motility agents like Domperidone or Itapride before meals can be helpful, however, avoiding heavy greasy foods and spicy meals as well as avoiding fizzy drinks may help too.

Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
