Could eating outside food daily be the cause of my constant gas, chest pain, and frequent burping that won't go away even after taking Digene, and what is the best way to relieve these symptoms?
Yes, eating outside food daily is very likely causing your gas, burping, and chest pain. Restaurant meals are often greasy, spicy, and high in sodium, which slows digestion and triggers acid reflux. While Digene (an antacid) offers temporary relief, it cannot prevent symptoms if the dietary trigger continues. To find relief, try transitioning to simple, home-cooked meals, eating smaller portions, and avoiding lying down for at least two hours after eating. Staying well-hydrated will also help. Please see a doctor if your chest pain is severe or persistent, just to ensure it is purely acid-related.
