Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist. This gastric problem may be due to acid peptic disease. For which I will advise you to avoid tea, coffee, oily and spicy food. Also avoid citrus fruits. Among medications take a proton pump inhibitor like rabeprazole and a prokinetic agent like domperidone
