Brief Answer:
Gastric problem is vague and may refer to acid reflux!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this diagnosis and all the inconveniences this has caused you. Gastric problem simply means a problem with the stomach. Acid reflux would be a more precise diagnosis.

I am concerned about the potassium gluconate. This can cause pill induced esophagitis and gastritis. This manifests with pain just below the breastbone. Please, drink so much water after this medication and avoid leaning forward or going too bed shortly after taking this medication.

I will also suggest you list your symptoms and I will review and get back to you.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
