Brief Answer:
omeprazole.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through the description you have provided.

Have you recently lost weight or have seen blood in your stools or have experienced abdominal pain .? If yes then you need to visit your doctor for a physical exam.
If no then
I would suggest you take omeprazole along with domperidone And simethicone oral strips / suspension as these medications will help you with your problems.( you will need a prescription from your doctor )

I would suggest to get hemoglobin levels and thyroid function test to look for aemia and low thyroid levels as reduced thyroid can cause these symptoms.

Avoid milk and milk products, cabbage, beans and carbonated drinks.

Hope this helps
Do get back in case you have further queries
Regards
Dr Samir Patil
