Acid Reflux. The same problem. heartful!

Hello there. I can understand your concern. Would like to know since how many days have you been taking pantoprazole? This is not a permanent solution. If its been too long, Consult a gastroenterologist, get a endoscopy done and do life style modifications. Certain foods you must avoid. If you keep having oily, spicy foods there is no use. Have 5 smaller meals a day rather than 3 large meals. Make vegetables and fruits a part of atleast 2 small meals. Drink lots of water. Avoid smoking and alcohol. If you are overweight, you will have to lose weight. According to a recent study, pantoprazole shouldn't be taken for more than 15 days at a stretch. If you are continuously on antacids, you will suffer from a lot of nutritional deficiencies and other problems. Consult a gastroenterologist in this regards and tell him that you are fed up of taking pantoprazole or other antacids. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain.
