Hi,
From what you are describing, it might be related to irritable bowel syndrome.
Feeling lightheaded and stomach troubles could be related to not eating properly (low blood sugar levels).
I'd advise to:
- eat your meals regularly
- eat often and small portions
- avoid spicy, chilly, fatty, fried foods
- avoid carbonated, caffein drinks.
If no improvement, you should start taking omeprazole and antiacids to ease your stomach troubles.
All the best!
