Bubbling Sensation In Stomach Moves To Throat, Burning Feeling In Stomach, Metallic Smelling Stools. Is It An Ulcer ?
Hello, I have experiencing what I believe is acid in the past fee months, I feel a bubbling sensation in my stomach which then travels through my throat and makes a gargling noise. Sometimes it makes me feel a sickly sensation in my throat. I have taken omeprazole which is my dads. This seems to stop the sickly feeling. More recently I have been experiencing a gnawing burning feeling in my stomach which is made worse by spicy food or hot drinks. My stools sometimes smell metallic which leads me to think it s an ulcer? I m unsure and wanted your opinion. I m a healthy 22 year old women. Don t smoke and very really drink. Thanks.

Thanks for writng your Symptoms are due to Gastirits and irritable bowel habits you should see what diet you are taking is it on proper time and avoid spicy food as if possible. Metallic smell stools are not due to ulcer as it is due to excess iron or Fats non vegetarian diet like red meat or fish you should see your diet schedule and type you are taking as you have not mention. If you are taking any iron supplement stop for few days. In the diet Schedule you should take lots of fluids, no spicy food, Fibrous fruits like papaya, orange etc. You can go for Ayurveda medicine like Syrup Gasex or tab Gasex which you like. In choorna preparation Avapattikar choorna-1/4 Tsp with lukewarm water Thrice a day.
