Patient's question:
From January 2011 to now. Symptoms include: stomach bloating, frequent burping, occasional nausea, and often feeling like the food hasn't reached the stomach, causing pain as it presses against the esophagus. In the evenings, when taking a nap, my stomach often gurgles, and in the mornings, after drinking a sip of hot water, my stomach makes a noise. Bowel movements occur once every two days. Currently, I am taking Domperidone. My father also experiences stomach bloating. When my father had a gastroscopy and colonoscopy at the hospital, no significant abnormalities were found. Did it detect Helicobacter pylori?Doctor's answer:
Omeprazole is an acid-reducing drug that also has the effect of inhibiting Helicobacter pylori. Mosapride is a full gastrointestinal motility drug, while Domperidone only promotes gastric motility and is poor at affecting intestinal motility. Pharmacies are likely to have omeprazole sodium, but not necessarily mosapride. In fact, it is not terrible to have a stomach disease. Patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as they receive timely treatment in the early stages, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
