I've been dealing with loose motion for the past two days and even vomited once. I started drinking lemon water and ORS and it really helped. But now I'm feeling a lot of acidity this morning. What do you suggest I do to get rid of this acidity?

I've had the ARMS procedure for GERD and acidity, but I still get constant burping. If I try to hold in a burp, I end up vomiting right away. Is there any permanent solution for this, maybe even surgery or another treatment? It's really affecting my daily life.

Persistent burping after ARMS may be due to altered gastric motility‚Äîfurther testing like manometry or fundoplication revision may help; consult a GI motility specialist.

I'm really worried about my recent ultrasonography report. It says I have hepatomegaly, a fatty liver, and a fatty pancreas. I took Udiliv 300 for three months last year, but the fatty liver is still there. What can I do to improve my liver condition and overall health? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Fatty liver and pancreatitis require lifestyle changes for improvement. Focus on a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and reduce alcohol intake. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight are crucial. You may also want to consult a healthcare provider to evaluate whether further treatment or changes to your medication are necessary.
