I've been dealing with some discomfort lately where I get a lot of acidity, and the gas won't release, causing sharp pain around my food pipe. I'm really not sure what to do about it. Are there specific foods I should avoid to help with this?

To help alleviate these symptoms, you can take an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) to neutralize the excess stomach acid. Additionally, you can take simethicone, found in Gas-X, to help break up the gas bubbles and facilitate their passage out of the body. To prevent further episodes, it is advisable to avoid foods that can trigger acidity and gas such as spicy foods, carbonated beverages, fried foods, and foods high in fat. Instead, opt for a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to help maintain a healthy digestive system.

I've been dealing with an anal fissure for about a month and a half now. I've been trying homeopathic medicine for the past two weeks, but I haven't noticed any improvement. Should I stick with what I'm taking or consider other treatment options? I'm starting to get worried about the lack of progress.
