Answer by Dr Vinod, MBBS,FcGP (doctor) on Fri 20, Nov 2009 10:46am:

Hello longhorns27, Your symptoms clearly point towards acid peptic disease and also allergy to some particular substances. You should discuss with your physician what all drugs you are taking and consider changing any of them if you have reactions and allergy to some of those medications. Follow up with a gastroenterologist for the acidity related issues and take all precautions for the future. I would suggest you to maintain normal BMI and have a healthy balanced diet and have some lifestyle changes with regard to diet after discussing with your physician. Take care!
