Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of frequent acidity and gas which can occur due to many reasons such as irritable bowel syndrome, eating a lot of dairy products, and lack of fibers in diet. Identification of cause is most important. Need not to worry. You should avoid intake of hot, sharp and spicy food substances. For now drink lot of warm water , do light exercises and brisk walk , do not lay down immediately after having food , avoid fatty and heavy meals. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order colonoscopy or other tests to look for blockages in your colon. You should get barium studies and blood test for hormonal changes. Doctor may prescribe you stool softeners as well.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
