Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.For aciud reflux and ulcers i treat my patients with proton pump inhibitors like rabeperazole and antiemetic domperidone for 1 month or longer.For IBS you might need to do a colonoscopy to rule out what type it is and identify if there is any complication.Most of my patients are effectively controlled with mesalzine. Corticosteroids are needed for some and some even methotrexate.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
