GERD, an issue with stomach acid going up the­ food pipe, leads to heartburn and indige­stion. Your doctor ordered Famotidine and sucralfate­ to ease symptoms. Take the­m each morning and night. Famotidine reduce­s acid production, while sucralfate create­s a protective coating inside your stomach. Following instructions care­fully will help manage discomfort. Famotidine de­creases acid leve­ls. Sucralfate forms a barrier to shield against irritation. Toge­ther, they can provide re­lief for your condition.

Male | 30

You are having the impression of wanting to vomit after a meal. This can be a result of the high SGPT and LDL triglycerides content in the body. This is possible to make one uncomfortable. To make this better, your plan should be to consume smaller meals more often, cut down on fatty foods, and drink lots of water. It is also good to do regular exercise to lower these levels.

It is crucial to see a gastroenterologist as quickly as you can for the accurate root cause of your symptoms and the best treatment. In the interim, it would be wise to steer clear of foods that may irritate your stomach and drink a good amount of water to remain hydrated.

Can I eat onions and black pepper in h pylori

Male | 38

If you possess the H. pylori infection, some signs can be stomach aches, bloating, nausea etc. These symptoms are likely to get worse if you take onions or black pepper since they may irritate the lining of your stomach. It would therefore be advisable for one to temporarily keep off such foods until they undergo treatment for this condition. In order to reduce distress while being treated for H. pylori, it is recommended that you take a mild diet comprising foods that do not cause any harm to your stomach.
