Brief Answer:
GERD
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
You are probably getting this white phelgem as a result of Gastro Esophaegal Reflux Disease (GERD).
I would advise following in such scenario:
1. To take a combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone.
2. To take soft, bland diet.
3. To walk after all meals.
4. To sleep with head raised by using a pillow.
5. Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption in case you do.
Even if your problem persists, you should get:
1. Upper GI endoscopy
2. Ultrasound Abdomen.
Share my opinion with your doctor before acting upon it.
I hope it helps.
Stay Healthy
