In the past year, as I was suffering from heartburns on regular basis (sometimes serious heartburn) I decided to consult a doctor. I was diagnosed with chronic gastritis and he prescribed me sompraz d 40 for 1 month, additionally he told me to reduce spicy foods. I did all that and I was feeling normal, but after the duration of medication (1 month and 5 days, 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening) the symptoms came back and that too with the same seriousness. The heartburns are painful and sometimes unbearable. When I can not bear the pain I take the sompraz d 40 tablets again (1 in the morning for 2 or 3 days) and I get relief for some days, after that its back to getting heartburns.

This medicine (proton pump inhibitor (PPI).) will not cure problem. It only works by reducing the amount of acid in the stomach. The day u dont take medicine normal acid production will be there n u will have symptoms. Do this 1. Don't take tea empty stomach. Eat something like a banana (if you are not diabetic). ) or any seasonal fruit or soaked almonds and a glass of water first thing in the morning (within 10 mins of waking up). No only biscuits or rusk will not do. 2. Don't Overeat 3. Take your breakfast every day. Don't skip it. U can eat whatever ur mother or grandparent eat in bfast. I mean to say whatever is ur traditional food. If punjabi eat paratha, if belongs to south then take idli/ dosa etc. 4. Have light meals every 2 hours (in addition to your breakfast, lunch n dinner) e.g. Nariyal paani, chaach, a handful of dry fruits, a handful of peanuts, any fresh n seasonal fruit (eat whole fruit not juice), a cup of curd/milk etc 5. Finish your dinner at least 2 hours before going to sleep. Take simple food like rice n dal in dinner. 6. Maintain active life style 7. Avoid fast foods, spicy n fried foods, Carbonated beverages 8.
