Hi, i do care for your concern.
The symptoms suggest that you might be suffering from duodenal ulcer, as you have no renal issues now.
I would advise
1) To start on drugs such as proton pump inhibitor and continue for 4 weeks duration.
2) avoid spicy food and caffeine containing items.
3) Have plenty of water, and have dinner two hours before sleep, this will add to the help.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
