I have developed some stomach problems in the last week. I have no appetite despite no having eaten in four days. the worst symptom is that I cant keep fluids down. anything I drink comes back up In 20 to40 minutes. I am so thirst I cant stand it. I have a least 10-15 times a day just trying to get some fluid in me. I am a 55 year old man with a long history of drinking. My grandfather died of stomach cancer.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein, I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.
Your symptoms are nonspecific, but these may be suggestive of gastritis, GERD or hiatal hernia so you should do gastroscopy to evaluate it more accurately. This is caused by irritation of stomach mucosa by certain food or medications, stress and smoking. You need to avoid fried food, carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol and spicy food. You should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. Also, certain antiacid medications may be required by diagnosis should be established first.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
