Brief Answer:
Lifestyle modification and stress reduction techniques would help.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone very carefully through your query.

In order to relieve yourself, you need to do the following:
* Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
* Avoid alcohol intake (if it a part of your habit).
* Take Prilosec (omeprazole) once daily before breakfast.
* Take plenty of green leafy vegetables as well as other sources of dietary fibers. Take fiber supplements like isabgol/psyllium husk or senna. I would insist you to increase your dietary fiber intake.
* Regular morning walk and exercise to keep the bowel movements proper.
* Exercise regularly in order to bring down your weight.
* Take thyroid medication regularly.
* Limit the total amount of food intake.
* Take curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and should help.
* Yoga and meditation should help.

Hope that helps.

Let me know if I could help further.
