Question:
I have been suffering from indigestion with hyperacidity and constipation. I suffer lots of belching due to this (I pass most of the gas thru upper GI track), which causes severe to moderate heartburn and causes severe discomfort. I feel better after eating food but empty stomach I feel worse with feeling of nausea at times. I have been suffering this since last 5 years without any remedy till now. I have been doing regular exercises and yoga but in effect that only aggravates my problem. Thank you in anticipation.
