I am a student and I eat out at hotel.I have gas problem since 2 years.Initially the symptoms were less and subsided by just ppi but gradually symptoms went on increasing like heart burn, burning in my stomach,chest,lower back and waist,frequent hunger,bitter mouth,passing out excess gas, abdominal cramping,urge to poo,anal itching, nausea,burping,etc. I consulted a gastro and did upper gi endoscopy,abdomen ultrasound,everything was normal and he gave me antibiotic oflin O and bandy plus, sonata powder and nexpro rd 40 mg.I felt relieved with this and now after 6-7 months same issue and it's severe like anything.I also have asthma and I am allergic and I take ketasma,can it be eosinophilic gastritis?
I don't understand what is the problem, because of this I am not able to concentrate on studies and I just feel like lying down. Please help me out doctor, suggest me some permanent solution for this,It's turned chronic,is it a underlying disease or because of my poor eating habits?

Hello. It is possible that you may be having Giardiasis or amoebiosis because of eating at hotels which may be having poor hygiene. The Giardiasis is common and recurrent food and water borne infection in poor hygiene settings, giving rise to such symptoms you are having.
you were seen by a gastroenterologist and he gave you an antibiotic and for nausea. most GIT infection wont show on endoscopy or in US.
If your dr suspected Ulcer he could have done urea breath test for H Pylori infection. This is non invaisive and reliable test to exclude H Pylori infection , the cause of Peptic ( gastric ulcer).
Did you have any food alergies , like Gluten allergy.?
