Stomach burn and flatulance
Dear Doctors,
I have stomach burn and gas/flatulance problem from 3 years due to which weight reduced by 20 kg. 15 in 6 months and 5 in 2 years. Yook ayurvedic, homeopathy and allopathic treatment, but no improvement was observed. Finally Reckeweg R5 is helping me in but the condition is still not completely cured.
It's been 1.5 months, will it be able to recover completely?
For how long it's safe to take it?
Anything else I could do which will help me recover faster?
What is Modern homeopathy by Dr Vijaykumar Mane which is curing even cancer? Shall I try that treatment also?

Hyperacidity cannot be cured by medicine alone. Proper lifestyle changes are equally important.
Many daily habits can worsen acidity — such as drinking too much water immediately after meals, irregular eating times, stress, or improper diet. Even if you take medicine, you may not get complete relief if these habits are not corrected. Often, once the medicine course is finished, the problem starts again.
Therefore, along with treatment, it is important to review your daily routine. We will discuss your eating habits, water intake, sleep pattern, and lifestyle to identify what needs to be changed and what healthy practices should be added to your daily life.
Consult with me at clinic or online consultation, and together we will work on correcting the root cause of your acidity.

Hello,
Thank you for explaining your situation in detail. Losing 20 kg because of chronic stomach burning and gas is significant, and this should never be taken lightly. When symptoms persist for 3 years and cause major weight loss, it clearly means the root cause has not yet been properly addressed.
First, regarding your questions:
About R5 (Reckeweg combination):
R5 is a combination remedy. It may give temporary relief in some cases, but combination medicines usually manage symptoms rather than treat the constitutional cause. Taking it for 1.5 months is generally not harmful in usual doses, but long-term unsupervised use is not advisable without understanding the deeper pathology.
Can you recover completely?
In many similar cases I have treated, patients with chronic gastritis, hyperacidity, IBS-like symptoms, food intolerance, anxiety-related gut disturbance, and severe weight loss have improved significantly — but only after detailed case analysis and individualized prescription. Recovery depends on identifying:
• Whether this is chronic gastritis, ulcer tendency, IBS, H. pylori history
• Whether anxiety or stress is driving hyperacidity
• Malabsorption issues
• Thyroid or metabolic imbalance
• Food triggers
• Sleep and mental state
Without this evaluation, no medicine — whether allopathy, Ayurveda, or homeopathy — can give permanent results.
About “modern homeopathy curing cancer”:
Please be cautious with exaggerated claims. Any system that claims guaranteed cancer cure without proper medical evaluation should be approached carefully. Serious conditions always require proper diagnosis and monitoring. What matters most is scientific assessment, not marketing terms like “modern homeopathy.”
Now coming to your main concern — weight loss and persistent burning.
When a 28-year-old male loses 15 kg in 6 months, I would first ensure:
• Endoscopy if not already done
• Basic blood tests
• Thyroid profile
• Vitamin B12, D levels
• Stool examination if required
After ruling out structural pathology, we treat constitutionally.
In my clinical practice at Health Global Homoeopathy Clinic, Bengaluru, I have managed many cases of chronic acidity, gastritis, IBS, functional dyspepsia, and stress-induced gut disorders where patients had tried multiple systems without relief. The key difference is detailed case-taking — not just prescribing a ready-made formula.
Homeopathic constitutional treatment can help to:
• Reduce burning and bloating
• Improve digestion and absorption
• Restore appetite gradually
• Stabilize weight
• Correct stress–gut connection
• Improve overall vitality
But it must be individualized. Not trial-and-error.
If you truly want recovery rather than temporary relief, I recommend a structured consultation where we:
• Review all past reports
• Understand the timeline of weight loss
• Study mental and emotional triggers
• Analyse food tolerance pattern
• Create a long-term recovery plan
You can go through the patient experiences and Google reviews of Health Global Homoeopathy Clinic, Bengaluru to understand how similar chronic cases have improved with systematic treatment.
If you are ready for serious healing rather than switching from one system to another repeatedly, you may book an online consultation through:

Hello,
The most important point in your history is the significant weight loss (around 20 kg). This should not be ignored.
Chronic stomach burning and flatulence for 3 years with marked weight reduction requires proper medical evaluation before focusing only on symptomatic treatment.
Please clarify:
• Have you undergone endoscopy?
• H. pylori testing?
• Liver function tests?
• Thyroid profile?
• Blood sugar evaluation?
• Ultrasound abdomen?
Unexplained weight loss can be due to:
• Chronic gastritis
• Malabsorption
• GERD with severe dietary restriction
• Thyroid imbalance
• IBS with poor nutrition
• Anxiety-related appetite suppression
• Rarely, more serious causes
Before continuing any long-term medication (including R5), the root cause must be clearly identified.
Regarding Reckeweg R5:
It may give symptomatic relief in hyperacidity, but it is not meant for indefinite use without proper evaluation.
As for “modern homeopathy curing cancer” …please be cautious about such claims. No responsible doctor should promise cancer cure without proper diagnosis and oncological evaluation.
Your priority right now should be:
1. Proper gastroenterology workup (if not already done)
2. Nutritional assessment
3. Identifying reason for weight loss
Once structural causes are ruled out, individualized treatment can be planned.
Anything causing 20 kg weight loss deserves thorough investigation, not just symptomatic management.

It should not be taken for too long.
It may relieve temporarily and partially.
But may not cure.

20 kg weight loss with long-term burning and gas needs proper investigation first. Please rule out H. pylori, gastritis, IBS, thyroid issues, etc., through basic tests.
R5 may give temporary relief but long-term cure requires individualized constitutional treatment after proper case taking.
Also avoid spicy food, cold drinks, late meals, and manage stress.
If needed, take a detailed consultation for correct evaluation and treatment plan and call or message on 916702500one for further detail

I would strongly advise you to stop switching between different treatments and doctors. Your body is not something to experiment with or manage based on social media advice. Consistency in treatment is very important for proper diagnosis and recovery.
In your case, this is dyspepsia with an alarm feature — significant weight loss. A 20 kg unintentional weight loss is not normal and requires proper medical evaluation. Before starting or continuing any treatment, we must first conduct thorough investigations to rule out any underlying pathology.
Once serious causes are ruled out, treatment can be planned appropriately. Homeopathy can certainly help, but only when you follow one treatment plan consistently and do not keep changing approaches. Even in homeopathy, understanding the underlying cause is essential before proceeding.
Please get the recommended investigations done and then continue under one doctor’s supervision. That will give you the safest and most effective outcome.

Hello. I would suggest a proper consultation to examine the underlying cause.
Because what you feel as general symptom can be much more than what you think. So to rule out every possible cause we need a consultation with proper plan of trratment rather than taken medications blindly.
And yes it might be a slow process based on your bodily reaction mechanism but you will be cured surely.

Do not take any medication blindly.

20 kg unintentional weight loss is serious. You should get proper tests (especially endoscopy, H. pylori, thyroid, basic blood tests) if not already done.
Dr. Reckeweg R5 can reduce acidity symptoms, but 1.5 months of partial relief means the root cause may still be present. Long-term continuous use without diagnosis is not ideal.
modern homeopathy, including promoted by Dr. Vijaykumar Mane, has scientific proof of curing cancer.
Focus first on proper diagnosis. Once the cause is clear, recovery is much more likely and faster.
I’ll advice you to consult to a genuine homoeopath so you could get the desired result .
effects of different homoeopathic medicine differ for different patient as per their individuality so I’ll advice u to get more precised medicine for complete cure of Your’s with a homoeopath u feel like cosulting with
Can also consult me if you feel like doing
