Treatment depends on the severity and underlying causes of your symptoms. For GERD and indigestion, treatment usually includes medications to reduce stomach acid, such as proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 blockers, along with lifestyle changes like dietary adjustments and elevating the head of the bed. IBS treatment may include antispasmodic medications, fiber supplements, and a low-FODMAP diet. It is recommended to consult a doctor or gastroenterologist for a personalized treatment plan.
