Posted on Fri, 10 Jul 2015
Question: Hi,

My mumma is suffering from too much of acidity and gas.
She cannot eat most of the food items.

When she eats any dry or crunchy items , she has maximum problem.
Like when she eats bhakhri (indian homemade bread of thick wheat floor), bakery items, tea, banana, apples, all melon fruits, namkeen, spicy or fried items she gets too much of burning feeling in her stomach and gas comes out of mouth with some noises.

Brief Answer:
It is most likely Gastritis. Start acid reduction medicines.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Since when have these problems started?
Is she on medicines for this?
Is she on medicines for any other diseases?
You need not worry. I suggest you start her on medications to decrease her stomach acid secretion.
I usually advice Tab Pantoprazole, Cap Omeprazole or Tab Rabeprazole to my patients which should be taken twice a day half an hour before meals. This should be continued for one to three months. If she does not feel better within 10 to 15 days, then I would advice you to see a Gastroenterologist and get an Upper GI Endoscopy done.
It is most likely Moderate to severe Gastritis but needs to be controlled so that it does not progress to Ulcer formation.
Do not get perturbed it is a problem that can be managed simply and we will assist you through it.
Do let me know if you have any further queries on the issue.
Take care,
Dr Rishi, New XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
