Suggest Diet Plans To Reduce Burning Sensation In Stomach And Intestine
Dear sir I have had pain in my stomach and intestinal tract for two weeks. I spoke to my doctor last week and told him I have a gastrointestinal problem. He has referred me to a specialist. In the mean, I need to know what I should include in my diet to reduce or eliminate the burning sensation in my stomach and intestinal track. Also, what should I eliminate in my diet.

Welcome to HealthCare Magic. Thank you for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.
You could be suffering from gastritis or peptic ulcer disease or gastro-esophageal reflux disease or intestinal ulcers or inflammatory bowel disease.
It is difficult to make a pin point diagnosis without actually examining you. You may need an upper GI endoscopy ,a colonoscopy or even a double balloon enteroscopy to help the diagnosis part.
I would suggest you to
- Drink loads of water
- Avoid oily,spicy food
- Have a diet rich in fibres
- I would start tablet Pantoprazole . Your doctor can guide on the exact dosage
- I would also start syrup Lactulose to soften your stool
- Get a blood haemoglobin , total count , ESR, electrolytes, amylase ,lipase, liver function test done
- Avoid straining during stool
I would also suggest you to visit a gastro-enterologist . He/she can examine you and correlate clinically.
Hope this helps.
Write back to us.
Have a nice day.
Regards.
Dr. Goswami
