I've had a moderate hiatus hernia for a few years and take a tablet every morning for acidity. I've been on these meds for three years now and worry about long-term side effects. Is there a good alternative to Sompraz L that's safer for daily use? I don't want surgery since multiple endoscopies and doctors say it's not needed yet, but I'm concerned about how these meds might affect my health over time. Any suggestions for a safer long-term option?
For long-term management of hiatal hernia-related acidity, a safer alternative to Sompraz L could be a combination of lifestyle changes, H2 receptor blockers, or even trying shorter courses of PPIs with breaks to monitor symptom recurrence. It's crucial to discuss these options with your doctor to determine the best approach for your specific situation

I'm really concerned because I've been noticing blood in my stool for the past five days. I do drink alcohol daily, and I usually eat less food compared to others. Could this be a serious issue? What should I do?
Based on your symptoms, it is important to address the blood in your stool promptly. You may be experiencing gastrointestinal issues that need medical attention. I recommend taking a combination of Pantoprazole (brand name: Protonix) to reduce stomach acid and Sucralfate (brand name: Carafate) to help protect the lining of your stomach and intestines. Additionally, it is crucial to reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption and ensure you are eating a balanced diet to support your digestive health.
