Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern.Non-vegetarian food is known to precipitate HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).So the best treatment is to avoid such food. Or you can give combination of pantoprazole and levosulperide twice daily on empty stomach. This will definitely help in relieving symptoms after eating chicken. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing her good health. Thanks.
