I've been having a really tough time with eating lately. Every time I eat, I end up vomiting almost immediately, and theres blood in it, which is really freaking me out. Plus, my throat and chest burn like crazy when this happens. What could be going on?

Recently saw a gastroenterologist who mentioned lax cardia grade A reflux esophagitis but didn't explain much. What does this condition mean and how can I manage it?

I'm dealing with erosive gastritis and a lot of acidity, and my doctor suggested I try drinking limestone edible. They told me to dissolve 1mg of chuna in a liter of water, wait for it to settle, and then drink the clear water throughout the day. I'm curious about what benefits this might have. Are there any contradictions I should be aware of? Could this lead to stone formation? And how long should I be doing this for?
Chuna (edible limestone) helps neutralize stomach acid and can relieve acidity and gastritis symptoms by balancing pH levels. However, it should be taken cautiously, as excessive use can potentially affect kidney function and lead to stone formation in susceptible individuals. It's best to follow your doctor's advice regarding duration, typically for a few days to weeks, but only as prescribed. Always stay hydrated and monitor any changes.

I'm experiencing loose motion and some pain in my lower abdomen for around 36 hours now. I've also been having some gastric problems over the past few months. I do a lot of bike rides and spend long hours sitting and working on my laptop. Can you please suggest what might help?
It sounds like your gastric issues might be worsening, possibly due to sitting for long periods or stress from travel. To ease your symptoms, try to stay hydrated, avoid heavy meals, and consider using a heat pad for abdominal pain. If the discomfort persists or worsens, its best to see a doctor for further evaluation.
