Hi, I read the medical history of your friend and understood her concern. I d advise her to be careful with the foods and drinks she takes: - eat often and small portions, slowly without rushing - avoid carbonated drinks - avoid spicy, chillies, fatty or high calories foods - avoid too hot or too cold foods or drinks - she can start taking simethicone - do not lay down immediately after eating Furthermore, she must consult a GI specialist to exclude GERD and/or gastric problems and to run the following tests: - upper endoscopy - esophageal pH test - abdominal ultrasound - examination of feces for ova/parasites - culture of stool for candida Hope it helped!
