Detailed Answer:
Hi there.

Thanks for the query.

It's possible that you have a bacterial infection that can cause gastritis and gas production.

You need to treasure Syrup Sucralfate 2 teaspoons thrice a day on empty stomach half an hour before meals. Eat yoghurt, curds.

Take Tablet Pantoprazole 40mg once a day for 15 days in the morning before breakfast.

Get an upper GI Endoscopy done to look for stomach ulcers. This is very important.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
