Burning In Upper Abdomen. History Of Mass Removal Operation From Intestine. Could This Be Acid Reflux?

Hello, I have had a stomach problem for a week now. It feels like burning in my upper abdomen. Worse at night. I am worried because 2 years ago I had an operation where I had a 2 inch mass removed from my intestine. It was embryonic remnants that caused my intestines to go inside themselves. The doc who did the surgery said it would never happen again. But this pain feels like it did before the operation. Sort of like acid reflux?

Hi, Welcome to Healthcare magic forum.
As you describe the sort of pain appears to be the gastric hyper acidity, may be due to irritant foods, irregular food habits, alcohol, drugs, or peptic ulcer.
The surgery is for the hernia, usually it should never recur.
I advise you to consult a gastroenterologist for diagnosis and treatment. You may need to have gastroscopy, for confirmation.
Avoid taking spices, junk foods, and oily foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. thank you.
