I'm dealing with constant burps throughout the day for about a month now. I've visited the doctor three times and tried different medicines like Pantocid DSR and Rantac MPS for the first 10 days without any relief. Then, the doctor switched me to Sompraz L for another week, and now I'm taking Ganaton. I don't have any abdominal pain, I'm eating less spicy and oily foods, drinking plenty of water, and I don't smoke or drink. I go for regular walks and I'm not overweight, but I still feel like there's air bubbling up my throat, making me feel like I need to burp it out. There's no smell or taste to these burps, but it's messing up my daily life and it's really embarrassing around others. The doctor has now suggested I get an endoscopy this weekend to find out what's going on. Do you have any advice on what might be causing this or any tips on how to control it?

It's good that your doctor has recommended an endoscopy to further investigate the issue. You can continue with your current lifestyle modifications of avoiding spicy and oily foods, staying hydrated, and maintaining regular physical activity. These measures, along with the prescribed medications, may help alleviate your symptoms until the underlying cause is identified through the endoscopy.

I'm dealing with a burning feeling in my food pipe even when I eat simple foods. I also get acid reflux a lot, and sometimes I feel like throwing up when I eat or drink. I've had issues with acidity in the past. What could be causing this, and how can I find relief?

I've been dealing with this weird stomach pain that kinda comes and goes since yesterday. It's like it'll hurt for a bit, stop, and then start again later. I already tried taking Pudhin Hara twice, but honestly, it didn't seem to help. What could be going on, and should I try something else or see a doctor?

Since the pain has been persisting for a day or more, its important to keep track of your symptoms. If the pain continues or is accompanied by other troubling symptoms (like nausea, vomiting, or fever), its best to see a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis. They can help identify the cause of your stomach pain and recommend the appropriate treatment.

I'm Arindam, 22 years old, and I've been really struggling with some ongoing digestive problems. Back in August 2015, I was diagnosed with a small hiatus hernia, and before that, in January 2014, I had a superficial stomach ulcer. Now, I'm dealing with a loss of appetite, acidity, and stool problems, plus I feel nauseous after every meal for about 20 to 30 minutes. I'm really tired all the time and always feel like my stomach is full. It's gotten so bad that I can't keep up with my studies. Do you have any advice on how I can start feeling better?

Avoid foods and drinks that trigger acidity.. Everyone has specific triggers. Common triggers such as fatty or fried foods, tomato sauce, alcohol, chocolate, mint, garlic, onion, and caffeine may make heartburn worse. Avoid foods you know will trigger your acidity.. Eat smaller meals. Avoid overeating by eating smaller meals... If gas is a problem for you, foods that might make symptoms worse include beans, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. Fatty foods also may be a problem for some people. Chewing gum or drinking through a straw can lead to swallowing air, causing more gas. Eat at regular times. Don't skip meals, and try to eat about the same time each day to help regulate bowel function. If you have diarrhea, you may find that eating small, frequent meals makes you feel better. But if you're constipated, eating larger amounts of high-fiber foods may help move food through your intestines
