I'm having a lot of trouble with high acid issues and it's causing me some breathing problems. I've tried taking pantoprazole and domperidone, but I'm still not feeling much better. Can you help me figure out what might be going on or what else I could do?

I'm also noticing that my stool has a strong odor, particularly in the mornings. What could be causing this and is there anything I can do to fix it?

Excessive, wet, and foul-smelling flatulence, along with bad-smelling stools, may indicate an imbalance of gut bacteria, poor digestion, or malabsorption of nutrients; consider incorporating probiotics, digestive enzymes, and fiber-rich foods into your diet, while also avoiding trigger foods like beans, cabbage, and dairy
