Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of superficial duodenal ulcers.
As the name suggests, the superficial layer of mucosa of duodenum gets abraded and causes the symptoms is pain of burning type in the upper abdomen particularly a few hours after taking food.
The treatment suggested is as follows:
PPI like Omeprazole
Antacid particularly when on empty stomach.
Soft bland diet.
No stress and/ anxiety.
Small frequent feeds.
Avoid all the foods and beverages that instigate or enhance the problems.
Get a review endoscopy after 6 weeks..
