Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
Stomach burning or heart burn is a commonest symptom seen nowadays.
Can you tell me is there any specific diet after which you have burning inside stomach.
The causes could be excess stomach acid or acute gastritis, gastroenteritis,gastric ulcer or Helicobacter pylori infection but it needs to evaluated further by various tests which I have mentioned below.
You must undergo routine blood investigations and H.pylori,urinalysis and abdominal ultrasound and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to detect the underlying cause.
Treatment is mainly depend on the cause but you may take symptommatic treatment meanwhile.
Antacids like h2 blockers (ranitidine) or proton pump inhibitors (pantoprazole or rabeprazole) will help to reduce acid production and digene gel or liquid or ulcero-protective agents like sucralfate or bismuth subsallicylate to reduce the burning sensation.
If symptoms persists then you should go for upper GI scopy to rule out gastric ulcer.
Consult gastroenterologist for further advice.
Regards,
