Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Every time i eat ground beef or pork my breath and mouth taste somewhat spoiled and it causes me to have pasty stools and abdominal cramps. In the past diagnosed with Gerd and frequently belch and get acid reflux which i treat only as need. What should I do?
GERD is caused due to reflux of acid from stomach 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, Pantoprazole (which prevent acid formation in stomach)+ Domperidone preparations (strengthens the sphincter & prevents reflux)
So, it will be better to consult your treating Doctor/ Gastroenterologist. Investigation like Upper GI endoscopy will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.
Wish you a good health. Take care.
