Acidity, gas or constipation that keeps coming back
Acidity, gas or constipation that keeps coming back
If you reach for an antacid most days, or acidity, gas or constipation keeps coming back, Dr. D.K. Sharma (BAMS), practising since 1992, looks at what keeps bringing it back: meals, timing, sleep, stress, bowel habit and the medicines you take.
Urgent signs: vomiting blood, black stool, sudden severe stomach pain or fainting need emergency care now, not a booking; see "When should I not wait?" below.

What the first consultation covers
- The pattern, not one symptom. When it starts, what follows a meal and what settles it tell the doctor more than a list of remedies.
- A plan for your routine. Your personalised Dinacharya (daily-routine) guide follows the consultation.
- Referral when it is needed. If a scope, scan or another doctor is the right next step, you are told plainly.
- What you already take, looked at. Your antacids, churans and other medicines are gone through with you, and nothing is stopped without a reason.
Three steps
- Send a short message. Name your main symptom, for example "acidity every night" or "constipation for months".
- Hear back. The clinic tells you whether it can help and offers a time. You then pay ₹500, and the clinic confirms the time in writing.
- Speak with the doctor. You go through timing, food, bowel habit, medicines and what you have already tried.

Questions
Will I need tests?
Not everyone does. It depends on your symptoms, age, how long it has gone on and any warning signs.
Full answer
If a test is useful, the reason is explained.
Is my acidity just spicy food?
Not always. Meal timing, late dinners, medicines, sleep, weight and stress can all play a part, and the mix is different for each person.
Full answer
The acidity page explains more; gas and constipation have their own pages: gas and bloating and constipation.
Should I bring what I already take?
Yes. Bring the strip, packet or powder, so the doctor can see its name and how often you take it.
Can I consult by video?
Yes. You can have the consultation by video instead of coming to Ludhiana.
Full answer
If an examination is needed, a visit is arranged. How video consultations work.
When should I not wait?
Vomiting blood, black stool, sudden severe stomach pain, fainting or a hard, swollen abdomen need emergency care now.
Full answer
For symptom-by-symptom guidance, see digestion and stomach problems.
