Hi Theresa, thank you so much for your response.

I had an upper endoscopy which was done. My Doctor told me the usual diet to stay away from spicy foods, carbonated drinks and foods that give gases. But when I googled I was told I need to eat soft foods, but I need to know what foods that can help correct my condition and to have conversations with people in a similar situation. The symptoms I have are loss of appetite, nausea, constipation, terrible gastritis, chest pains, heaviness in the chest sometimes, body aches, sick feeling, dizziness and bitterness in my mouth. Please don't hesitate to ask me anything else I really need help

Teresa I forgot to mention that I've become lactose intolerant so I take lactose free milk. I live in Lusaka in Zambia

The extra information is helpful, @bee2023. Did the doctor indicate that the chest pains/heaviness in the chester are related to spasms of the esophagus?

How do you feel when you follow the eating plan of avoiding spicy foods, carbonated beverages, etc.? Do you eat several small meals a day or do you still try to eat larger meals?
