Severe acidity
I have undergone kidney transplantation 27 years back and bypass surgery 5 years back. I am on regular medication for both these conditions including steroids. I have a very regular and restricted diet with no fried or spicy or non vegetarian food. I am also a teetotaller. All my blood parameters are normal and do regular follow ups. However last one year I have severe gastric issues but with no pain in abdomen. It is a heavy burning sensation through my digestive track and stomach. The issue persist severely in the morning hours and I also have issue of constipation. I drink around 3 litres of water a day. I am taking ranitide 150 at HS. Every time i get this issue it makes me tensed, depressed and very tired. I used to walk regularly but since this problem i am not able to walk and also have my left shoulders stiff. What should I do

[ ] Hi as symptoms are suggestive of gastritis.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. Some times in intractable cases one need to go ahead with Upper Gastroscopy to rule out gastric ulcer/erosions and presence of H PYLORI infection.Feel free to ask any further quary related to this problem.
