Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I was diagnosed with a antral gastric erosion eight months ago. I did not have H.pylori infection and I am still taking medication but it is not helping. Eventhough my health developed quite a bit but it is not normal. I still cannot eat dairy foods, spicy or fastfoods. Even a bit spicy cause burping and burning sensation in my chest. Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Antral gastric erosion is a condition where there is a loss of the surface layer of the stomach lining in the antrum (the lower part of the stomach), which can cause symptoms like belching, burping, and burning sensation in the chest. In addition to medication, there are some lifestyle changes you can make that may help reduce your symptoms. These include:

  1. Avoid triggering foods like spicy and dairy foods.
  2. Eat smaller and more frequent meals. Eating smaller meals throughout the day can help ease the workload on your stomach and reduce symptoms.
  3. Avoid lying down after eating as this can help prevent acid from backing up into your esophagus and causing heartburn.
  4. Manage the stress levels. Stress can worsen digestive symptoms, so find ways to manage stress, such as through exercise or relaxation techniques.
  5. Quit smoking as it can irritate the lining of the stomach and increase the risk of developing ulcers.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
