Hello,
I am a 51-year-old male and have regular issues with my digestive system, primarily gastric issues.
There are times when my stomach feels bloated like a balloon and I have hyper acidity.
I also feel a burning sensation inside the stomach and had acid reflux once which has resulted in irritation of the throat, which has now become coarse.
When I sleep at night after taking food, I have the sensation of something coming upwards from the stomach towards my throat.
Can you please advise some remedy or solution for these gastric issues in the stomach?
Thank you.
Regards,
Prakash Bhushan
Ans: Reoccurring acidity and strong acid refluxes could be due to many reasons, some of which can become severe if not addressed.
I would recommend that you visit an Ayurvedic practitioner right away and get your tests done as prescribed by the doctor.
Meanwhile, too much acidity can hamper our stomach lining, resulting in ulcers and other severe problems. You need to plan a detox diet and give some relief to your digestive system.
Finish your dinner three, or at least two, hours before you sleep.
Don’t eat spicy/fried food. Have more of alkaline foods like fruits and buttermilk (though not at night).
If you can do a fruit diet once a week, practise it for 2-3 months.
Also, start having jeera (cumin) or saunf (aniseed) water in the morning.
