My mother ,69 year old, is having hyperacidity since last 25 years and she has been taking antacids regularly. She used to have GERD like symptoms and food came into throat while sleeping. Also,she had been diagnosed with gallbladder stones 5 years back.She had some problems with swallowing food and severe pain and vomiting since that time.Now,since the last 6 months,she has been suffering from loose motions atleast twice to thrice in the morning and sometimes it gets more severe also. Please advise.
