My mother's USG report states that she has mild antral wall thickening which can be due to acid peptic disease. Also, colon is loaded with gaseous abdomen. Can anyone please suggest what the treatment should be for the same?

A thickened antral wall, as observed in an ultrasound (USG), could indicate inflammation, infection, or other underlying conditions affecting the lining of the stomach's antrum (lower portion). Conditions like gastritis, peptic ulcers, or even infections can lead to thickening of the stomach wall. Treatment PPIs Lifestyle modification
Health Tips
1. Dietary Changes:          - Avoid trigger foods like spicy, acidic,    or fatty foods, as they can worsen symptoms.       - Eat smaller, more frequent meals rather than large ones to reduce pressure on the stomach.        - Finish meals at least 2-3 hours before lying down or going to bed. 2. Lifestyle Adjustments:       - Elevate the head of your bed by 6-8 inches to prevent stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus while sleeping.       - Maintain a healthy weight, as excess weight can contribute to GERD symptoms.      - Avoid tight-fitting clothing that can put pressure on the abdomen. 3. Meal Timing:       - Avoid eating close to bedtime.       - Wait a couple of hours after eating before engaging in strenuous activities or exercising. 4. Avoid Smoking and Alcohol:       - Both smoking and alcohol can weaken the lower esophageal sphincter and increase the risk of acid reflux. 5. Medications:      - Follow your healthcare provider's recommendations for any prescribed medications, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 blockers. 6. Stress Management:      - Stress can exacerbate GERD symptoms. Engage in relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. 7. Hydration:      - Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated can help maintain a healthy digestive system. 8. Chewing Gum:      - Chewing sugar-free gum after meals can help increase saliva production, which can neutralize stomach acid. 9. Avoid Bending Over:       - Bending over or stooping immediately after meals can increase the risk of acid reflux. Instead, try to maintain an upright posture. 10. Consult Your Doctor:       - If you experience severe or persistent symptoms despite making lifestyle changes, consult your healthcare provider. They can provide personalized advice and recommend further tests or treatment options. Test: 24hours pH monitoring, GI endoscopy
