Brief Answer:
Likely to be due to Acid peptic disease
Detailed Answer:
Dear Mr XXXX
The cause of pain is likely to be due to
1 Acid Peptic disease
2. Underlying constipation
Constipation is likely to be due to
1. Decreased consumption of water
2. Less intake of fiber in diet
I would suggest you the following
1. Acid Suppressant like Pantoprozole will be helpful
2. For breakthrough pain you can take liquid antacid
3. Regular intake of meals in small quantities more frequently
4. Avoid spicy food
5. Avoid alcohol / carbonated / caffeinated beverage
6. Ensure good intake of water : 2 to 3 liter a day
7. High fiber diet : 2 servings of vegetable salad and 2 servings of fruits especially citrus fruit will ensure adequate intake of fiber
8. Laxatives like Lactulose will be helpful
9. Exercise and walking will help relieve stress and associated anxiety
Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you a very happy New year
Take care
Best regards
