A member asked:

Suffering from gas pains, indigestion and acid reflux please help!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

GERD: Follow a light,bland diet; take prilosec; take mylanta four times a day. Drinking hot water and applying a hot water bottle or heat to the abdomen helps break down the gas and moves it along. Avoid alcohol,caffeine and nicotine. See your Physician if symptoms persist or worse as conditions like gastritis,gall bladder disease,peptic ulcer and pancreatitis would have to be ruled out.
