Hello! Thanks for putting your query in Chat Doctor. I am a Gastroenterologist. This gastric problem may be due to acid peptic disease. For which I will advise you to avoid tea, coffee, oily and spicy food. Also avoid citrus fruits. Among medications take a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole and a prokinetic agent like domperidoneSpices do not affect liver however cause increase in acid production. I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health
