Almost everyone gets acidity or gas once in a while after a heavy or spicy meal. But if it is happening again and again, your stomach may be telling you something more. This article explains when simple home remedies are enough and when you should book a proper check-up.
Why acidity and gas happen
- Eating late at night or skipping meals
- Too much tea, coffee, or spicy fried food
- Stress and irregular sleep
- Overuse of painkillers
When home remedies stop working
- Symptoms lasting more than 2-3 weeks
- Needing antacids almost daily
- Bloating that does not settle after passing gas or stool
- Discomfort disturbing sleep or work
What a gastro check-up usually involves
- Detailed history of your eating and lifestyle
- Simple examination of the abdomen
- Sometimes an endoscopy if symptoms are long-standing
- A clear, personalised diet plan
See a doctor if you have:
- Acidity every day for over 2 weeks
- Weight loss without trying
- Vomiting or black stools
- Chest pain along with burning
