Brief Answer:
In my opinion acid reflux is most probably the cause for your symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. I doubt the butternut soup/squash has anything to do with it, and in my opinion this is more due to either acid reflux or some infection (if you have a fever or any other such symptoms).

Please let me know if you have symptoms like:

+Heart burn
+Increased gas production
+Belching
+Regurgitation of food or liquid frequently
+Bitter taste in mouth
+Sensation of something in the throat
+Chest pain at times
+Abdominal bloating
and a few others.

I look forward to hearing from you in order to help you further.

Best wishes.

Brief Answer:
?? Steroids like cause for your reflux symptoms sir

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.

Steroids have been a cause for acid reflux as there have been numerous cases reporting the same. If you have noticed the increased liquid reflux since or a while after the steroids were initiated then this could be the most probable cause for the reflux.

Either way, I do recommend a few lifestyle modification, dietary changes along with the initiation of tablet omeprazole twice daily, 15 minutes before breakfast and 15 minutes before dinner every day.

I do not think the clopidogrel has anything to do with it, but please do write back to me about your ideas and opinions as well as I would love to hear you out.

Best wishes.
