Stomach acid and throat burning
Hello doctor
For the past week, I have been experiencing persistent acidity, bloating, throat burning and excessive gas. I am also experiencing loose, semi-liquid stools and frequent indigestion, with burps that smell or taste like recently consumed food
Acidity and heartburn are most commonly due to intake of certain foods like fatty foods, citrus foods , carbonated beverages and smoking /alcohol. Try avoiding milk and fatty foods
If symptoms persists , certain medications need to be started and and may require upper GI Endoscopy evaluation if ongoing symptoms despite medications
Next Steps
Diet /Lifestyle modifications f/b medication
