Avoid foods and drinks that trigger acidity.. Everyone has specific triggers. Common triggers such as fatty or fried foods, tomato sauce, alcohol, chocolate, mint, garlic, onion, and caffeine may make heartburn worse. Avoid foods you know will trigger your acidity..

Eat smaller meals. Avoid overeating by eating smaller meals... If gas is a problem for you, foods that might make symptoms worse include beans, cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. Fatty foods also may be a problem for some people. Chewing gum or drinking through a straw can lead to swallowing air, causing more gas.

Eat at regular times. Don't skip meals, and try to eat about the same time each day to help regulate bowel function. If you have diarrhea, you may find that eating small, frequent meals makes you feel better. But if you're constipated, eating larger amounts of high-fiber foods may help move food through your intestines

Question 4

I'm a bit worried about a small polyp in my gallbladder. Can it lead to any type of gallbladder cancer? Also, I feel some minor pain in my abdomen when I'm hungry. Could that be because of the polyp?

Accepted Answer

Having small size polyp in the gallbladder can potentially increase the risk of developing gallbladder cancer, although it is rare. The minor pain in your abdomen when you are hungry may or may not be directly related to the polyp. It is important to monitor the size of the polyp regularly through imaging studies and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. As for medication, there is no specific drug to treat gallbladder polyps. However, if you are experiencing pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed, following the recommended dosage instructions on the package. If the pain persists or worsens, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
