Acidity
Question

I have been having acidity, bloating, burping, indigestion, mid-abdominal pain, and weakness for the past one year. Sometimes I get chest pain, joint pain, a vomiting sensation, and food comes back up while burping. Recently, foods I used to tolerate are suddenly making my symptoms worse. Over the last month, I’ve had weight loss and loss of appetite. Tests show a lax lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and a fungal infection in the esophagus. Bilirubin is slightly high, but ultrasound, CBC, and IgE are normal. I’ve been taking PPIs, antacids, and laxatives for 40 days. Acidity has reduced, but the other symptoms are still there. Why is this happening and what should I do?

Doctor's Answer

You’ve been dealing with long-standing digestive symptoms where acidity improved, but bloating, food regurgitation, weakness, and weight loss continue.The problem is that due to prolonged use of PPIs, the digestive power has reduced. Which is leading to overgrowth of bacteria and fungus in the digestive tract. Managing the overgrowth and improving the acid levels at the same time is a necessary step if the system has to be restored to normal. I would suggest starting with natural antibacterials like oregano and neem oil. along with digestive aids like ginger and fennel to maintain a steady state. But honestly, your case reqiures a more serious approach with continued follow ups and supplement stacking to regulate it. Please contact our team to book a consultation and we will help you from there.

If you've tried antacids, triple therapy, probiotics, Ayurvedic churans, and strict diets — and still ended up back at square one — this is worth understanding. The problem was never that those treatments don't work. The problem is that no single treatment works alone. Permanent gut healing requires multiple modalities working in the right sequence.
