ENT Specialist,  's  Response
Hi, you are using medicine to reduce acid production. As your endoscopy is normal, what you can do is:
1. Add prokinetics
2. Add sucralfate syrup before meals
3. Change your dietary habits to avoid more of tea, coffee, spicy foods.
4. Make some changes in personal habits like stop smoking (if you smoke), avoid alcohol and do some relaxation exercises as stress also increases the problem. Otherwise, if you are having altered bowel habits, consult a GE for that. You can also use B complex for few days.
