**Response:**
**Answer:**
Your symptoms (excessive gas, belching, loss of appetite) suggest **functional dyspepsia** or **mild gastritis**, even without pain. Here’s how to proceed:
### **1. Recommended Tests (if symptoms persist):**
- **Stool Test (H. pylori antigen)** – Rules out bacterial infection.
- **Blood Tests (CBC, LFT, Amylase/Lipase)** – Checks for inflammation/liver issues.
- **Ultrasound Abdomen** – If bloating is severe (to rule out gallstones/other causes).
- **Endoscopy (if no improvement)** – Direct visualization of stomach lining.
### **2. Immediate Relief Measures:**
✔ **Dietary Adjustments:**
- Avoid gas-forming foods (beans, cabbage, carbonated drinks).
- Eat smaller, frequent meals; chew slowly.
✔ **Probiotics** (curd/yogurt) – Improve gut flora.
✔ **Over-the-counter aids**: Simethicone (for gas), **but avoid long-term self-medication**.
### **3. Red Flags (Seek Urgent Care):**
⚠️ Weight loss, vomiting, blood in stool, or persistent symptoms >2 weeks.
### **Consultation:**
For **targeted testing and treatment**, message me on **WhatsApp at eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two**. Let’s identify the root cause—often simple fixes work

Follow a bland diet with foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, yogurt, and ginger, avoiding spicy, fatty, and acidic foods like citrus fruits, tomatoes, and chocolate to help manage gastritis symptoms.
