Hi, Doctor,

Can you please explain me what is proton pump inhibitor & how do i add it

Also note that even after having light meals, i feel blotted & gassy now a days. Heavy meals are very difficult to digest & i have to have some supporting medicine like Gassex or digene.

In worst case, it pains me in in stopmach & doesnot subside unless i have Cycloplam.

Hi and thanks for contacting Healthcaremagic
Indigestion and acidity are quite nonspecific terms and you need to elaborate more on the symptoms so that I can understand it better and suggest appropriately

Hi XXXXXXX

Proton pump inhibitor is a medicine to control hyper secretion of gastric acid

Your symptoms are suggestive of collitis and hyperacidity

You need to go for bland diet, avoid spicy and fermented meals, avoid junk food and aerated drinks

A probiotic will also help, take it for two weeks twice a day

Hope this helps

Hi XXXXXXX

I have already explained the meaning of bland diet :

Avoid spicy and fermented meals, avoid junk food and aerated drinks

You need to continue this till the symptoms subside

We are not supposed to prescribe medicines without examining the patient as per the forum rules, for that you need to see your physician

Hope this helps
Wishing you a speedy recovery
