Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you might be having gastritis.

Following precautions will be helpful :-
1.Avoid spicy and oily foods.
2.Avoid being empty stomach for long periods.
3.Avoid smoking and alcohol, if any.
4.Drink lots of water daily.
5.Eat food prepared under hygienic conditions.
6.Avoid excessive gas producing foods like peas, cabbage, legumes, etc.

You can take an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with Domperidone 30mg.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
