Dear Dr.I am suffering with peptic ulcer from last few years and according to Dr. direction i m using Nexum (Esomeprazole) from 1 year. whenever i try to get rid of from this medicine i feels pain & acidity in my stomach and gas.I want to ask you is there any natural treatment to over come this problem.Plz help me.
**1. Nexum [esomeprazole] is a proton pump inhibitor [PPI] and ADR [adverse drug reaction] on stopping the drug is abdominal PAIN and flatulence [GAS] and dose dependent suppression of gastric acid secretion. [reason for getting ACIDITY] on stopping the drug.PS. check with a Gastroenterologist regarding Endoscopy to exclude any other APD [acid pepsin disorder] 2. In acute phase:.bland diet,rice with plain dal,boiled vegetables,sweet biscuits,sweet fruits,plain idli, till acute phase is controlled.3.avoid sour fruits like citrus fruits,imli,grapes,instead take sweet/dry fruits,      chillies.4.avoid period of starvation:take small meals every 2 hrs..do not keep the stomach empty,also don’t take heavy meals..avoid tea and coffee.milk is good (cold)5.for breakfast and snacks:bread/toast jam,cheese or butter,cornflakes.avoid deep fried and hot foods.6.eat food which are low in fats.7.eat at a leisurely pace.chew your food well.8.avoid eating 3 hrs prior to retiring to bed.may cause secretion of gastric acid if meals taken during bed time.9.include protein in each meal and snacks.10.antacids are the drug of choice.  PS..if ulcer heals and recurs frequently:look for H.Pylori in gastroscopic aspirations..avoid gastric irritant drugs like aspirin,all NSAID’S,steroids.. You may ask for prescription medicine like: Avipattikar churan, patoladi kwatha, Ayucid, madhuyashti churan, dhatri lauha,narikel lavan, gasex.
