Hi Dr. I am 40 years old and have severe acidity issues. If I eat just idlies I start burping and acidity will cause severe headache and vomit sensation. I also have a stressful job & I take tension for small things. Hence I started Herbal life protein shake every morning as breakfast continued with balanced meals and it has helped me a lot without causing acidity and feel very energetic. Can I continue this journey or should I be worried about any kidney problems?

Ans: Herbal products needs to be endorsed or cross checked with an Ayurvedic /Siddha practitioner. Kindly do that.
But if you feel symptomatically improved it must be good

Hi Doctor, I'm 37 yrs Male physically and mentally fit. For last several years I'm following a strict diet where I eat 4 times in a day - Breakfast, Lunch, Snacks, Dinner. Nothing in between. I don't eat junk food. I have 2 questions for you: 1) Lately I have observed an urge to eat in-between (eg. an hour after breakfast) probably due to reduced sugar levels. Is it fine to eat some Jaggery/almonds/cashew in between? 2) When I have early dinner around 7pm, I get an acid reflux at night (especially if I eat Tur dal/any pulses). What can be the reason and what are the ways to tackle acid reflux? Thanks in advance.
Ans: What you are indicating seems to be a sign of insulin resistance where in response to meal, insulin levels rise and then you start feeling hungry. These are indications of early stage of diabetes development.
The first thing you need to get done is blood sugar levels: fasting, 2 hr after breakfast and HbA1c. You also need to have your lipid, and liver function tests done. Essentially, you can get your blood marker profile done. Discuss that with a physician and he or she would be in better position to advise.

Regarding second question, it may not be related to early dinner but overall gastric emptying. Please increase fruits and vegetables in your diet. You need to have some gastric motility enhancing medicines before breakfast . Esomeprazole and Domperidon combination are very effective.

It might benefit to increase the number of meals and snacks in total to 5 From current (Three meals and two snacks) but reduce the quantity and portion sizes in snacks.

Can you please suggest on capital gains as per Indian taxation laws arising in the below two queries : 1) property purchased with joint ownership, me and my wife’s name in 2015 at a cost of 64,80,000, housing improvements done for the cost of 1000000 and brokerages of 200000 paid and sold the same property at 10000000 in Dec 2023? 2) 87% of the proceeds got from the deal i.e 8700000, have been reinvested to pay 25% amount in purchasing another joint ownership property in Dec 2023, 3) I have invested in another under construction property in Nov 2023 by taking housing loan, which is on me and my wife’s name worth 1.4 cr, here the primary applicant is me only while wife is just made a Co applicant in the builder buyer agreement and also on the housing loan . So what are the LTCG tax liabilities arising from the above 3 scenarios for FY 2023-2024 and FY 2024-2025. I intend to sale off the property acquired in (2) by Dec 2024 and use that proceeds to close the housing loan for the property acquired in (3), will this sale of property be inviting any tax liabilities if the complete proceeds received from the sale of the property in (2) would be utilised to close the housing loan taken in Nov 2023 for the property in (3) ? Since in FY 23-24, I would be claiming the LTCG from the sale proceeds of 1) invested in the purchase of property in 2), and I intend to sale off this property in Dec 2024, will the LTCG claim be forfeited on the property sale in (1), should I hold this property at least for further 1 year so that sale of this property in 2) will not invite STCG?
Ans: (A). Let's first talk about F/Y 2023-24 :
You jointly sold a Property during the year for Rs.76.80 lakhs (64.80+10.00+2.00), & sold the same for Rs.100.00 lakhs.
You have jointly also purchased Property No.3 (I suppose it is Residential only), for Rs.140.00 lakhs.
You should avail exemption u/s-54 & file your ITR accordingly. Please disclose all details about sale & purchase in your ITR.
02. Now coming to the F/Y 2024-25 :
You intend to Sell Property No.2, which was acquired in 2023-24. Any Gain on Sale of it would be Short Term capital Gains & taxed accordingly.
Alternatively, you may hold this sale of property no.2 (for 2 years from its purchase) & avoid STCG
You are free to utilize the sale proceeds in a way you like, including paying off your housing Loan.
Please note to avail exemption u/s 54 only from investment in property no.3 & not 2.
Most welcome for any further clarifications. Thanks.
