Hello,
Your symptoms of severe burning in the food pipe and stomach, along with frequent burning burps for two months, are suggestive of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), gastritis, or functional dyspepsia.
GERD occurs when stomach contents reflux into the oesophagus, causing burning and discomfort. Importantly, reflux can occur even without acidic liquid reaching your mouth.
Eating healthy food does not completely prevent acidity, as factors such as meal timing, stress, individual food sensitivity, and oesophageal function may contribute.
Since your symptoms have persisted for two months, a proper medical evaluation is advisable.
Next Steps
Consult a gastroenterologist for clinical assessment. Your doctor may recommend a supervised 4â8 week course of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) if GERD is suspected. Consider H. pylori testing if gastritis or peptic ulcer disease is suspected. If symptoms persist despite appropriate treatment, an upper GI endoscopy may be necessary. Eat smaller meals, avoid lying down for 2â3 hours after eating, and identify individual food triggers.
Health Tips
Avoid excessive caffeine, carbonated drinks, peppermint, and foods that worsen your symptoms. Avoid eating within three hours of bedtime. If you experience nighttime reflux, elevating the head of your bed may help. Seek medical attention if you develop difficulty swallowing, persistent vomiting, vomiting blood, black stools, unexplained weight loss, or severe chest pain. Most reflux-related conditions respond well to appropriate treatment and lifestyle modifications. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
