How do I use sodium bicarbonate for acid reflux?
How to take sodium bicarbonate tablets for acid reflux.Doctor has prescribed to take it there times a day
Surgical Gastroenterologist
Answered on 6th Jan '25
Sodium bicarbonate is a remedy that can help reduce pain such as heartburn or stomach acid reflux by neutralizing acid in the stomach. The most undoubted relief that can be obtained by consuming the prescribed tablets is three times daily, either with meals or in the event of discomfort. Swallow the pills with a full glass of water; the maximum allowed dosage should not be exceeded. Common causes of acid reflux include particular foods, overeating, or excitement. In case symptoms last or get worse, please refer to your gastroenterologist.

Hi. I ate leftover food from last night for lunch. It was in the microwave last night and morning time I put it in the refrigerator. It didn't smell bad when I smelled it and it didn't make me sick when I ate it. But I was worried to much if I made a mistake eating it. So I forced myself to throw it out. Please advise ????

Consuming food that has been out of reach for a certain amount of time might result in food intoxication. The symptoms of food poisoning may include aches, discomfort, cramps, nausea, and vomiting. If there is no evidence of these symptoms after you eat the food, it's likely that your body didn’t react.

Constipation means less number of bowel movements or finding of it difficult to do so. This can happen due to the lack of fiber and water in the diet. You did a good job with spinach, veggies, and apple. You can also try giving her more water and whole grains along with her meals.

Too much acitidy (gas) is produced during the day and night,,
Male | 24
That sounds like you might have gas that is more than needed, as it might make you feel uncomfortable. The usual symptoms are swelling, burping, and anxious cramping. One may suffer from this due to particular food, overeating, or even taking in air while eating. To reduce these concerns, one could keep a food diary in which the person lists everything that triggers the problem and use a smaller portion, more often. Drinking enough water and including workout time can speed up the process of digestion. Consult a gastroenterologist.

Sir mujhe pichle kuch dino se stomach me gas ,stomach jaldi se saaf nahi hota hai .iske saath hi mujhe face ke right side toothache bhi hota hai kabhi kabhi. Kya mere toothache bhi stomach gas ,stomach problem ki wajay se hai. Please sir suggest me treatment and medicine to cure my stomach problems and toothache.
पुरुष | 35
The symptoms you experience, such as gas in the stomach and toothache, can be related to each other in some cases. For gas, some medications such as simethicone, more fiber-infused foods in your meal, and a proper amount of water, can help ease the symptoms. Your toothache might be due to different reasons, for example, cavity or gum issue, which you have to get checked by a dentist. Do not be afraid to talk with the doctor, who can have a proper treatment and guide you.

I'm 23 years old male and I'm suffering from stomach issue.. Whenever i eat something i start suffering from bloating and diarrhea. It has not cured yet. What should i do I took rifadox 550 bt its of no use either.
Male | 23
You might be suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). This condition leads to bloating and diarrhea after meals. Foods that are fatty, contain dairy products or gluten may set it off. Try to stay away from these kinds of foods. When you are stressed out it can also make the situation worse so take it easy on yourself and do some light exercises like walking. Drinking lots of water will help with loose stool relief too. I would recommend going to see a gastroenterologist who can provide further evaluation & treatment options.

Female | 65
This discomfort may be associated with a condition called chronic cholecystitis which is related to your past problems with the gallbladder. Symptoms of this disease include sharp or needle-like pains felt in the upper right side of the abdomen. To relieve yourself, it would help not taking dairy products and beverages rich in fat. It’s also advisable to see a gastroenterologist for more advice on what to do next.

You may have gallstones. These are lumps of solid material that form in your gallbladder. When you do exercise, it could push against them and cause pain in the upper right part of your abdomen. Other symptoms might include nausea or vomiting and persistent tenderness over where the stone is located. You should try eating less fatty foods too if this is an ongoing issue for you. But if nothing changes, please visit a gastroenterologist.

Hlo mam I'm 19 yrs old I'm having abdominal cramps in lower right abdomen, left, sometimes back, also having mucus along blood in stool sometimes, fatigue this happening not continues for weeks
Female | 19
You are likely enduring some digestive issues. The cramps in your lower abdomen, which transfer from right to left, and even to the back, as well as the mucus and blood in the poop and fatigue, can be signals pointing to the fact that your gastrointestinal system may be out of balance. Such symptoms may appear in conditions like Crohn's disease or an infection. It's crucial to undergo a thorough physical examination with a gastroenterologist who can identify the cause and provide the treatment.

Male | 25
These signs may be caused by stress, anxiety, or a medical issue. It’s good that you’ve tried Brahmi and Ashwagandha but stomach problems are worrisome. I advise seeing a gastroenterologist to consider other solutions that could make you feel better. Techniques for managing stress as well as relaxation exercises might also help.

Female | 22
The irritable bowel syndrome, or bloating gas, can stem from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which is a common ailment of the digestive tract. You are by the way at the same age as other people who suffer from this condition. Stress, diet, and allergies to specific foods may all cause IBS. Take the food diary exercise, so you can track what's triggering it. Besides, ensure you take fluids and fiber-rich foods as well. In cases where the problems persist, visiting a gastroenterologist can provide more insight and possible treatment options.

Male | 21
The tummy ache can be tough to manage. The hurt you feel in your stomach might be from many things such as eating something that didn’t agree with you, having gas, or having a tummy bug. It is a good idea to have lots of drinks and stay in bed. Eating plain foods like bread or rice may also help. If you don’t start to feel better or it gets worse then make sure to go and see a gastroenterologist about it.

I’ve been diagnosed with gastroenteritis for the past three days, but today’s gotten so much worse, I had frequent watery stool and no appetite at all, what can I do
Female | 13
You're experiencing severe gastroenteritis symptoms. This illness causes abdominal pain, vomiting, and frequent diarrhea, usually caused by viruses or bacteria. The recommended approach is resting, drinking plenty of water to prevent dehydration, and avoiding spicy or fatty foods. Consume bland items like crackers and plain rice to soothe your stomach. Recovery should occur soon. However, if symptoms worsen or you can't keep liquids down, visit a gastroenterologist.

You should see a gastroenterologist for the assessment of your symptom of chest pain. Whereas the acid reflux might be a possible cause but it is necessary to rule out the other serious diseases like heart problems. Immediate medical attention should be sought without delay to establish an early diagnosis and treatment.

Female | 18
Fatty liver occurs when excessive fat accumulates inside liver cells. Many individuals experience no symptoms initially. However, some may feel fatigued or upper abdominal discomfort. Contributing factors include high-fat, high-calorie diets, obesity, and excessive alcohol consumption. Dietary modifications emphasizing nutrient-dense whole foods, regular physical activity, and alcohol reduction can promote liver health.
