I've been having this weird burning feeling in my stomach a couple of hours after eating, right around where it would be digesting, and there's also this mild pain just above my belly button. I'm starting to worry a bit, could it be something like an ulcer?

The stomach burning and mild pain near the belly button area, occurring 2-3 hours after eating, could be indicative of various conditions, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), stomach ulcers, or duodenal ulcers, but it's also possible that it's related to digestion issues, food intolerance, or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), so it's essential to consult a gastroenterologist for a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment plan.

View allI've been dealing with a really bad headache for a while now, along with dizziness, nausea, and fatigue. I can't stand noise or bright lights, and being in crowds just makes me feel sick and irritated. Lately, I've noticed I'm constipated too. There was a time when passing stools was painful and difficult, but that seemed to have eased up until yesterday when I saw blood in the toilet. I'm not on my period, and I'm really scared because I'm pretty sure I've seen blood in my stool twice now. What's going on? Could you help me understand this?

My doctor said I have an incompetent lower esophageal sphincter and I'm really worried because my brother told me GERD is incurable. Is there any way to heal this without surgery? I'm feeling pretty down about it.
as symptoms are suggestive of gastritis and GERD (GASTRO ESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE ).Need to follow some lifestyle changes. Take food timely. Avoid cabbage, capsicum, citrus fruits ( for a while). Don't drink water with food, take after 40 min. as much as needed thereafter. Don't lie down immediately after food. Finish night meal by 8.30 pm maximum. Go to bed after minimum 1 hour after dinner. Always keep stomach 1/4 th empty.Divide meal into 5-6 times a day. Avoid the particular food, which is being observed to cause bloating, fullness, upper abdominal pain/ discomfort, reflux symptoms etc. A good acid blocker is needed to check excess acid production.
