    What are you eating kunal ?Try adjusting your diet and see if your symptoms change. Also it is a good idea to take walks after dinner. It helps clear the bowels and increases circulation. Are you eating enough fiber ? Diet is critical !

      I would go back to doctor and ask him if you have gall stones. You are exercising which is good but something is not in line in your body. Go to a gastrointestinal dr. and ask a lot f questions. I wish you the best ! Let us know !

    You can test either your stomach has high acid or low acid, in the morning with empty stomach even before brushing add 1/4 tsp bicarbonate of soda to 250mls lukewarm water. Drink the mixture until your stomach gets full of it. Now it's burp time If you burp before 1 min your stomach acid is too high and If you burp between 2-3mins you have slightly low levels of stomach acid If you burp between 3-5 mins your stomach acid is low. Anything comes after 5 mins then it would be fine.
