Asked for Male, 28 years

Dear Patient,

The stomach releases acid to digest food. When you remain empty stomach for very long these acids can create an uncomfortable feeling in your food tube. This is called reflux. Its best to increase water intake when going on any diet. Also, take 1tbsp ispaghol husk mixed in water every morning before food, this would line the food tube and protect it from acidity. Take frequent small meals rather than a few large ones. These measures if taken daily will help improve his health
