Your stomach is trying to tell you something. Let's translate.
Dr Bakshi Clinic treats stomach, liver and digestive problems in Bhopal — acidity and reflux, gas and bloating, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, and fatty liver — at physician level, with endoscopy and complex cases referred to gastroenterologists at the right moment, not the last one.
The antacid decade
Half of Bhopal treats its stomach at the medical store: an antacid sachet after every heavy meal, a strip of acidity tablets bought monthly for years, gas capsules on festival days. It works, sort of — until it doesn't. Symptoms that persist for months deserve a diagnosis, because 'acidity' is a description, not a disease.
Behind it may sit reflux that needs proper staged treatment, an H. pylori infection that's curable in two weeks, a gallbladder issue, food patterns nobody has mapped, or stress wearing a stomach costume.
And a decade of self-prescribed acid blockers is not harmless. Getting the actual answer usually costs one consultation and, often, less medicine than you currently take.
Years of continuous self-prescribed acid suppression blunts nutrient absorption (Vitamin B12, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium) and masks early ulceration.
A single physician evaluation maps dietary triggers, screens for H. pylori, and creates a clear exit ramp off daily antacids.
What we diagnose and manage
Evidence-based diagnosis and individualized care plans for common and complex digestive symptoms:
Acidity & Acid Reflux (GERD)
Staged medical therapy, hiatal hernia evaluation, food trigger mapping, and a structured tapering plan to safely get off permanent daily antacids.
H. Pylori Infection Eradication
Stool antigen testing and standard 14-day triple/quadruple therapy for this ubiquitous, fully curable bacterial cause of chronic gastritis and peptic ulcers.
Chronic Gas, Bloating & Dyspepsia
Comprehensive diagnostic workup distinguishing functional dyspepsia, food intolerances, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO), and biliary causes.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
Long-game management of the gut-brain axis combining low-FODMAP guidance, visceral hypersensitivity modulators, and stress management.
Chronic & Geriatric Constipation
Gentle, non-habit-forming bowel regularity regimens, especially in elderly bedridden patients where constipation impairs daily recovery.
Fatty Liver (NAFLD / MASLD)
Bhopal's silent epidemic; graded reversal plans combining targeted weight loss, metabolic sugar-lipid control, and calendar-tracked liver enzymes (SGOT/SGPT).
Alarm-Sign Vigilance & Endoscopy Triage
Unintended weight loss, GI bleeding, difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), and persistent vomiting fast-tracked immediately to gastroenterologists.
Fatty liver deserves its own honesty
Ultrasound reports across the city carry the same line — 'Grade I/II fatty liver'— and most patients are told it's nothing. It isn't nothing; it's early.
Fatty liver is reversible in its early grades through weight, sugar and lipid control, and ignorable into cirrhosis if given fifteen quiet years.
Our approach ties it to the numbers that drive it, sets a realistic six-month target, and tracks liver function on a calendar. Unspectacular medicine; spectacular difference by sixty.
Control HbA1c, triglycerides, and visceral adiposity.
7–10% body weight loss to mobilize hepatic triglycerides.
Serial SGOT/SGPT and FIB-4 score tracking every 6 months.
When endoscopy and the gastroenterologist come in
Alarm symptoms, suspected ulcers or bleeding, abnormal imaging, and anything needing a camera go to a gastroenterologist promptly — with your history and trial-of-treatment documented so the scope answers a sharp question rather than a vague one.
Afterwards, the everyday management returns here, where your file lives and the follow-through happens.
- Unintended weight loss or progressive anemia.
- Dysphagia (difficulty or pain while swallowing).
- Gastrointestinal bleeding (black tarry stools or vomiting blood).
- Documented trial of therapy before endoscopic referral.
- Post-scope mucosal healing and H. pylori re-testing.
- Long-term dietary and lifestyle maintenance in Bhopal.
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers from Dr. Raja Bakshi on long-term acidity tablets, chronic gas workup, fatty liver reversal, IBS gut-brain therapy, and endoscopy signs.
No — persistent acidity deserves a diagnosis, and long-term acid blockers deserve a review. Many patients end up on less medicine after proper treatment (including H. pylori eradication where found) than they took by habit.
