Stomach: Avoid aspirin/ibuprofen etc, alcohol and try some over the counter omeprazole. Sounds like a gastritis cause unknown.

Question 2

have occasional gerd symptoms- nausea, need to burp to get relief. how do i tell if i have too little or to much stomach acid?

Accepted Answer

Symptoms...: It is not about having too much or too little acid it is about the symptoms you are experiencing. If you are having significant acid reflux, heartburn, cough, abdominal bloating then it tells you there is significant acidity in your stomach. Change your diet habits and avoid fatty foods, sauces, caffeine, too much bread, mint, citric juices, spicy food.If not better after diet see your dr.

Question 3

i have problems with stomach acid. over the counter antacid and alkaline medication are not helping or providing any relief. my regular doctor is not available and cannot secure appointment with another gp?

Accepted Answer

Stomach acid : You can see a doctor via telemedicine. In general, I ask a patient with stomach acidity to stop using alcohol, don't; eat late at night, avoid coffee, soda, lose weight if there is a large abdomen. There is a stepwise approach to this. The process can start with a telemedicine doctor

if cbc-esr report show eosinophils 08(normal value 1-6) and if i accidently while trying to have a self induced vomit to get relief from stomach acid gets small cut on inside of throat from finger nail that bled little..will eosinophils attack that?

: The eosinophils have no action to the scratch in your throat. If you have some types of allergy, eosinophil percentage may go up, condition is called eosinophilia. However, 8% is not that high, commonly seen without any noticeable issue.

Question 5
