I've just finished a 14-day treatment for H. pylori, and while most of my symptoms are gone, I'm still having stomach issues. Eating out or having chicken seems to upset my stomach, and I end up with loose motions. I'm mostly eating food from a mess, so I'm wondering what kind of diet I should stick to and what types of food I should avoid to prevent this from happening. Can you help me figure out a plan?

After completing an H. pylori treatment, it is important to follow a specific diet to prevent stomach upset and loose motions. You should follow a bland diet that includes easily digestible foods. Here are some dietary recommendations: - Eat small, frequent meals throughout the day - Consume foods that are low in fat and fiber - Include foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast (BRAT diet) - Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated - Avoid spicy, greasy, and fried foods - Limit or avoid dairy products, caffeine, and alcohol - Avoid eating outside or in places where food hygiene may be compromised

I'm experiencing some concerning pain in my chest, arms, and shoulders. I've already had an ECG, Echocardiogram, and TMT test done, and all the results were normal. After an endoscopy, I was diagnosed with H. pylori and took antibiotics for two weeks, followed by more medication for about seven weeks now. But I'm still feeling this pain. Is it something I should be worried about, or is it normal?

no, take tablet zerodol for 3 days, if it still paining consult a physician

I've been diagnosed with Laryngopharyngeal Reflux and I'm currently taking the prescribed medication. I'm a bit confused and worried because I was diagnosed just by the doctor looking into my throat. Is that normal for an LPR diagnosis? My symptoms include frequent coughing, a lot of saliva, and irritation in my throat. I'm particularly concerned about the redness in my throat. Is that a common symptom of LPR? How long does it usually take for my throat to heal from this condition? The doctor advised me to take RABESEC D SR once daily for 20 days, but I'm still feeling anxious about all this. Also, is it okay to take Gaviscon Peppermint? I'd really appreciate any advice as I'm quite concerned about my health.

That could be GERD avoid late night eating and consume bland diet and maintain healthy lifestyle.

I've been having acid reflux in my stomach lately and it gets worse when I eat or lie down to sleep. Could this be related to gallstones? Do I need to consider surgery for this?

Yes, gallstones can sometimes be linked to acid reflux, especially if they cause inflammation of the gallbladder. The presence of gallstones can lead to a buildup of bile in the stomach, increasing pressure and potentially stimulating acid production, which can contribute to acid reflux symptoms. However, acid reflux can also have other causes, such as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), certain foods, or being overweight.
