I've been dealing with pancreatitis and the stress from my personal life is really getting to me. I'm wondering if there's any way I can still have a drink now and then?

Alcohol consumption should be avoided completely if you have pancreatitis, as it can worsen the condition and increase the risk of complications. It is important to prioritize your health and well-being by abstaining from alcohol. Instead, focus on managing stress through healthy coping mechanisms and seeking support from healthcare professionals or counselors.

I'm wondering if it's safe to take Normaxin RT for acid reflux after I've had papaya or other fruits in the morning. Here's what I did today: I had giloy juice, then Chyawanprash, then papaya, and finally took Normaxin RT, all with about a half-hour gap in between. Is this okay to do? Would love some guidance.

I've been having this weird issue for the past two months where my stomach feels like it's beating, kind of like a heartbeat. It's freaking me out a little, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do about it?
That could be gastritis,take antacids and consume bland diet and more water to ease your stomach and take adequate rest
