Diet & lifestyle

Eat small frequent meals (don’t stay empty stomach too long). Avoid spicy, oily, fried foods, citrus, tomato, coffee, alcohol, smoking. Sit upright after meals (don’t lie down for 2–3 hrs). Wear loose clothes (as you said tight pants worsen). Reduce stress (stress increases acid and gut sensitivity). Last meal at least 3 hrs before sleeping.

Take probiotic in diet Like curd with sugar

Acid reflux, often referred to as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), can cause discomfort and needs careful management. If spicy foods are a trigger for you, it’s best to avoid these as they can exacerbate the symptoms, leading to lower abdominal pain and a sensation of hardness. It’s common for GERD to cause symptoms beyond heartburn, such as the abdominal discomfort you’re experiencing. The fact that DSJ and antacids give temporary relief suggests that acid is indeed a contributing factor. Wearing loose-fitting clothes can help, as tight clothing might put additional pressure on your abdomen, worsening the reflux. Position wise, try elevating the head of your bed and avoid lying down immediately after eating. Smaller, frequent meals can help, as large meals can lead to more acid production. Avoid other trigger foods like caffeine, alcohol, and chocolate. If you’re experiencing symptoms frequently, a prescription medication like a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) may be warranted, but this requires a discussion with your doctor. Persistent or severe symptoms need evaluation to rule out other conditions such as peptic ulcers or other gastrointestinal issues. Don’t ignore severe or increasing pain, unplanned weight loss, or difficulty swallowing, as these can be signs of more significant problems. Keep a food and symptoms diary to help identify other potential dietary triggers, which can be useful for managing the condition longer term. Remember, if symptoms persist or worsen, consulting with a healthcare professional for a more detailed evaluation and tailored treatment plan is important.
