Hi ! Good morning. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, I would advise you to avoid eating from outside if you do, specially against spicy, fried and fast food. I would also advise you for a liquid antacid gel, and a prokinetic agent along with a proton pump inhibitor, and go for a stool test for ova and cyst. In case all routine investigations coming to be normal, I would advise you for an ultrasound abdomen, and possibly an endoscopic evaluation of your upper gastro-intestinal tract by a gastro enterologist in your area. Further management would depend on the physical examination and investigation reports.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in planning your treatment. Thanks for using the health care magic forum for your query on health. Wishing you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
