Suggest Treatment For GERD

Hello. Since the past 4 years I'm experiencing irritable bowel functioning. I'm also undergoing a lot of stress at work. Once or twice a month I experience loose stools, I am unable to evacuate completely, sometimes stools are solid, but many a times they are semi-solid. I've been on probiotic tablet since the past 4 months. I've also ha voice hoarseness since the past 3 months, which is almost 75% better now. The ENT had diagnosed it as G.E.R.D. while the gastroenterologist, even my family physician says that I'm experiencing this because of stress.

Pls advice. I'm worried and want to get well soon!

Hello dear,

Thank you for your contact to health care magic.

I read and understand your concern.

I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern.

You need combine approach for the treatment.

You need treatment for both stress and GERD.

I advice you to take pantoprazole and levosulpride under your doctors guidance. This drugs are anti acidity and anti psychotic so it combinely treat you with stress and acidity.

Once GERD is under control your voice will improves gradually.

I advice you to take mint leaf to put in the mouth periodically. This will give soothing effect to throat and improves the voice.

Please avoid more spicy foods.

Do not eat heavily eat small frequent diet.
