Hi Doctor, One And Half Years Before I Went For
One and half years before I went for endoscopic and found to have H.Pylori infection. Was presribed with Nexpro HP Kit for 14 days. For the past one month I was drinking alcohol (360 ml) in a local unclean bar and started having burning sensation, severe bloating leading to stomach distension and constipation.
I went back to the Gastro, he prescriibed me ORNI-500, Razo-20, Gutrenew, Reflect 200 for 7 days. The symptoms has subsided partly. I visited him again and informed that the bloating/constipation still persists. he prescribed me acotrust 100mg and Razo 20 (night) for 20 days. I have left alcohol for the past one week.
Currently, my symptoms are belching, constipation and light burning sensation.No problem in eating.
My Questions:
1) Do I have got sever ulcer in stomach.
2) Any chance of getting H.Pylori infection again.
3) Do I need to go for endoscopy again.
4) Please suggest any good medicines for acidity and belching problem.
5) Good medcine for constpation.
6) How long will it take to cure as I totally stopped alcohol.
Thanks
Better to have an endoscopic review.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir
Welcome to ask a doctor service.Thank you for your query.
I have gone through your query with diligence. As you having gastritis for more than a year erosions or ulcer is possible. So better to have an endoscopic review. If H pylori is present H pylori kit should be repeated again.
I also would suggest to take proton pump inhibitors like Rabeprazole and motility enhancers like domperidone as sustained release preparation for 4 weeks. Taking Sucralfate syrup thrice daily half an hour before meals also helps in faster healing of erosions or ulcers.
Avoid alcohol at least for 3 months. This will help to heal. Let me know if anything not clear.For constipation you can take lactulose syrup at bed time. Taking dried prunes at bed time is also good for constipation.
I am happy to help you.
Thanks.
