Hi,
Thanks for writing in XXXXXXX
The features which you have described are suggestive of gastritis. If there is no vomiting, no passage of black stools then you need not worry.
Ensure that the timings of your meals is regular and that you do not consume too much of spices alcohol and coffee.
A mild protective agent such as sucralfate along with a proton pump inhibitor for 3 weeks will help in healing.
If symptoms still persist then a endoscopy would be indicated.
The chances of cancer are extremely less.
I hope this answers your query.
Regards

Hi,
thanks for the feedback.
I would suggest the following.
1.Sucralfate suspension 1 tablespoon after each meal (1-1-1) X 21 days
2.Proton pump inhibitor (e.g. Omeprazole) 20mgms (one capsule at bed time)x21 days.
3.Preferred food items: one banana at breakfast and one after dinner.
Cucumber with each meal as a salad. Plenty of water.
I hope this answers your doubt.
