Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for the query
I can understand your concern, you are symptoms are due to acidity.
Follow below instructions

1. Avid food that increase acid productions like tea, coffee, citrus and spicy and
fatty food
2. See if milk make your symptoms better then you can have it

3. Also take a proton pump inhibitor pantoprazole like Pantop 40 mg half an hr
before food.as you were taking along with a prokinetic agent like domperidone.
They come in combination also like pantop-D twice daily morning and night
before food.
4. You can have Tab Sporolac , which helps for digestion once daily in the night
for 1 week.
5. Have food on time
6. Avoid junk food
7. Drink plenty of water
8. Have easily digestible food, avoid non veg for some time
9. Avoid stress and stay relax, sleep atleast 7-8 hours daily

If you have any doubt you are welcome, otherwise kindly close the thread and rate it
