Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, I would like to advise that you should take Domperidone 30mg along with your antacid.
Antacid in gel or liquid form is also beneficial as it forms a protective coating over the damaged mucosa of the stomach.

Following precautions will be helpful :-
1.Avoid spicy and oily foods.
2.Avoid being empty stomach for long periods.
3.Avoid mental and emotional stress.
4.Avoid smoking and alcohol, if any.
5.Avoid self medications, especially pain killers and steroids.
6.Drink lots of water daily.
5.Eat food prepared under hygienic conditions.
6. Curd may help.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.

Hello dear,

GERD is caused by reflux of acid from stomach to esophagus due to relaxation of the sphincter at the lower part of esophagus.

Management consists of:
1. Lifestyle modification- like weight reduction, sleeping on the left side, or with upper body raised.
2. Dietary modification- avoid consuming irritating substances such as acidic & rich foods, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol.
3. Medical management- Proton pump inhibitors like Omeprazole, Rabeprazole,etc. (which prevent acid formation in stomach)
4. Surgical treatment- includes Fundoplication, done when medical measures fail.
So, it will be better to consult a Gastroenterologist and discuss regarding the further plan of management.

Wish you a good health & speedy recovery.
Take care.
