Acidity & IBS Treatment in Lucknow

Chronic acidity, persistent gas, bloating, and unpredictable bowel habits can severely disrupt your daily life. If lifestyle modifications and over-the-counter medicines are not providing relief, it is time to consult an expert. At Lucknow Gastroenterology & Gynaecology Centre, we offer advanced diagnosis and targeted management for acid reflux, GERD, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Treatment is led by Dr. Puneet Mehrotra (MD Medicine, DM Gastroenterology - SGPGIMS).

Understanding Acidity (GERD) & Its Triggers

Acidity occurs when stomach acid frequently flows back into the tube connecting your mouth and stomach (esophagus). If left untreated, it can cause severe inflammation and ulcers. Common triggers and conditions we treat include:

• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): Frequent, severe acid reflux causing heartburn and chest discomfort.
• Chronic Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining due to dietary habits or bacterial infections (like H. pylori).
• Peptic Ulcers: Sores that develop on the lining of the stomach or upper small intestine.

What is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?

IBS is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder that affects the large intestine. It does not cause permanent damage to the gut, but symptoms can be chronic and distressing. We manage various subtypes of IBS:

• IBS with Constipation (IBS-C): Infrequent, difficult, or hard bowel movements accompanied by abdominal cramps.
• IBS with Diarrhea (IBS-D): Frequent urgent bowel movements and loose stools.
• Mixed IBS (IBS-M): Alternating episodes of both constipation and diarrhea.

Key Symptoms You Should Not Ignore

Consult a gastroenterologist if you experience recurring symptoms such as:

• Burning sensation in the chest (heartburn) usually after eating
• Excessive burping, bloating, and a feeling of heaviness
• Unexplained abdominal pain or cramping
• Alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation
• Mucus in stool or feeling of incomplete evacuation
