Ang galing naman ng Doctor mo, he checked your pulse and he was able to tell you that you have a weak stomach (weak stomach is a bit vague), parang sa movies.

This doctor are experience and expert in the detecting the rythm of the pulse. Can my acidity be cure or do i need to take medicine every night?

Take the Ranitidine for 3 weeks, 150mg before bedtime.

 

If you do not experience a significant reduction in stomach acid then we will have to consider an H.Pylori infection of your stomach

Forgive me for the medical term, What is H.Pylori inferction?

[Green Lantern]

H Pylori is Helicobacter Pylori

 

Doctors used to think ulcers were caused by stress or by eating food with too much acid in it. We now know this isn't true. We now know that most stomach ulcers are caused by an infection. The infection is caused by a bacteria (germ) called Helicobacter pylori (say: "hell-ee-ko-back-ter pie-lore-ee"), or H. pylori for short. Ulcers in people who don't have an H. pylori infection are usually related to heavy aspirin use, or heavy use of anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen (some brand names: Advil, Nuprin, Motrin). Acetaminophen (brand name: Tylenol) doesn't cause stomach ulcers.

GreenLantern,

I take ranitidine last night before bedtime and and feel air and burp early in the morning. Will my condition get well after 3 weeks. If not can i cure the H Pylori?

[Green Lantern]

Take the Ranitidine every night for the the next 3 weeks, hopefully you will feel some relief in the next few days.

Green Lantern,

My second night in taking the ranitidine burp some air early in the morning. May i ask what does ranitidine do to the stomach? From the label of the medicine, it said Hydrochorine. What does it mean?

[Green Lantern]

Ranitidine is in a class of drugs called histamine receptor antagonists. Ranitidine works by decreasing the amount of acid the stomach produces.

Ranitidine is used to treat and prevent ulcers in the stomach and intestines. Ranitidine is also used to treat conditions in which the stomach produces too much acid and conditions in which acid comes up into the esophagus and causes heartburn, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Why is the stomach producing to much acid?

[Green Lantern]

Many factors can affect secretion of acid in the stomach.

Types of food you take in, amount of stress you are undergoing, amount of food intake, types of liquids you drink, smoking, work schedule...etc....

Can you recommend what food to take to avoid the secretion of acid?

Try to eat a well balanced diet using the food pyramid.

 

Fats on top,

Protein in the middle,

and carbohydrates on the bottom

I ate a jollibee champ burger with bacon, pineapple, cheese and mayonaise in the afternoon and a plate of spagetti with meat ball at dinner time. 10pm took the ranitidine before going to sleep and can experience burping early in the morning. This is my first week in taking the medicine. Did the burger and spagetti affect my burping of air
