Having this gastric very serious recently, can feel the heartburn up until behind the chest. tried gaviscon but not effective at all.

go see doctor...

Omeprazole, or
Nexium (stronger)

got see already but still same

ermm what's this bro? get from pharmacy stuff? pills or liquid?

Tablets form.

If you have visited doctor, just take the medicine that doctor prescribed.

noted thanks man

I too have severe gastric issue which lasted almost to a week everytime it attacks.

Firstly u have to determine whether is it gassy stomach or acid reflux. Cuz if gassy stomach u need to eat charcoal pills 2 hours after/before ur other medications.

For gastric, usually i take Omesec from the counter. Nexium reduce acidic level in the stomach but omesec reduce acid production.

Besides this, yr food intake is very crucial to stop the pain.
Avoid dairy products (acidic) also avoid eggs if u have gassy tummy. Don't smoke after meal (if u smoke). Don't eat till full but breaking ur meal intake to few times a day. Don't eat oily, spicy and anything that is acidic to the stomach! Fruits are ok except for grapes and oranges.

Did you see a GP or specialist?

Try Histac.

if still not good then you need to go hospital already.

go for a scope if happen often
if cannot be controlled with medication, may require operation(fundoplication) to change the angle of his
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_of_His

Doc prescribe omeprazole 20mg tablet daily.

Magnesium trisilicate (liquid), take for fast relief when necessary.

Potential role of probiotics in the management of gastric ulcer
"Gastric ulcers develop due to an imbalance between damaging factors and the defense mechanisms of the gastric mucosa (Fig. 2). The available studies in the literature indicate that probiotics can accelerate the healing of gastric ulcers via multiple mechanisms that involve both damaging and defensive factors (Fig. 2)."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4906699/

Effect of probiotics on aspirin-induced gastric mucosal lesions
"Probiotic mixture pretreatment attenuates the aspirin-induced gastric lesions by reducing the lipid peroxidation, enhancing mucosal sIgA production, and stabilizing mucosal mast cell degranulation into the gastric mucosa."
http://europepmc.org/abstract/med/21480106

Probiotics Reduce Bacterial Colonization and Gastric Inflammation in H. pylori-Infected Mice
"The percentage of mice with moderate-severe H. pylori-induced inflammation in the gastric antrum was reduced with probiotic pretreatment (71 to 29%; P = 0.14)"
"This preparation of probiotics provided a safe and novel approach for reducing H. pylori colonization and bacterial-induced inflammation of mice."
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1023%2...2040.c2?LI=true

You get the general idea. Make it a habit to eat (real) yogurt, probiotic supplements, fermented stuffs.
Ought to heal over time, assuming you avoid eating junks (soft drinks, junk foods etc.).

last time i drink yakult every morning and night then suddenly it gone.

gastric by pass.

Someone I know had severe gastric pains. Painkiller injections also didn't work. Went to one private hospital emergency ward at night, stupid low level doctor just give another injection, which din work.

Then she went to Sunway Hosp in daytime. Specialist said got stones in gall bladder. Removed gall bladder, now no such problem anymore.

Take some calcium magnesium, it can neutralize the acidic, wont easily gastric, you will feel better.

If meds given by doctors don't help (charcoal, gaviscon, white syrup med forgot the name), I strongly advise to go see specialist for scoping.

I suffered for nearly 4 weeks with this. 3 doctor visits, all gave me similar advice:

1) Eat at the right hours; bfast at 7-8, lunch 12-1, dinner 7-8. No late dinner and no eating 4hrs before sleep.
2) No oily, spicy or fast food
3) Eat small portions but more times (this contradicted with advice 1)

I had wind, got hungry fast, stomach discomfort, bloated and when I ran it felt like I had a water balloon in me, it ruined my workouts.

4th visit, said I wanted to be referred to specialist.

Specialist (Columbia Asia Setapak) advised to do scoping to determine the cause. In the end, it was found and confirmed by lab analysis, H.Pylori bacteria infection. Google this bacteria. While it may be common among people in this region, different people react differently to it.

Some cases it is just discomfort, some rare cases it could develop to stomach cancer if left untreated for long. My case, no malignancy, just bacteria. Given 2 weeks antibiotic medication (take twice daily, MUST FINISH) and I'm all better. Next week going for final checkup with specialist for the all-clear.

Tldr; go see specialist, may be H.Pylori infection, longer left untreated, could get worse.

Having gastric problem myself, the best cure is to eat on time, never skip a meal.

Avoid too spicy and sour food.

sometimes gastric are due to pressure of your life.
for medicine, my dc suggest pariet, it work for me.
other less effective.
try to avoid 3 in 1 coffee.

is it GERD?

It could be. But the root cause could be caused by something else. Maybe stomach ulcer, maybe bacteria, who knows.

When sleeping at night, I would wake up because of the discomfort and how I felt like something wanted to climb up my throat. It was the reflux.

After finishing my medication, no more discomfort no more reflux.

do not sleep immediately after eating

wait for at least 3 hours before sleeping.

and do not sleep leaning on your right side. This is not some old grandma's tale.

Sleep flat or either sleep leaning on your left side.

Sorry for bumping an old thread.

But how much does it cost to do endoscopy?

It takes time to heal an "injured" stomache.

1. Do a scoping to find the root cause.
2. Healthy & balance diet.
3. Eat on time even u r not hungry
4. Sleep well, exercise
5. Eat gently, slowly with reasonable portion.

eat less meat

Hello. No worries, I don't recall the amount for endoscopy itself, but the whole experience (hospital stay for 3 days, consultation, meds, etc.) I think went up to RM4k +/-, don't have the bill on hand at present. Will try to find it and update here again soon.

Price wise, you can call up the hospital to check. Some is quite high, some can be as low as 1k +.

Now days, they will put you in daycare ward, so about half day can go back already.

Can you describe the heart burn you're experiencing? It could get really painful until sit or stand or lie down also cannot?

Go outside and sweat it out everyday for at least 40m. Avoid caffeine and spicy food.
