Acid Reflux & GERD treatment in Dubai — done properly.

Also known as: GORD / heartburn

Heartburn, regurgitation, chronic cough or a lump in the throat — most reflux can be controlled without a lifetime of PPIs. We investigate H. pylori, adjust treatment properly and refer for endoscopy when needed.

Who this is for

  • · Persistent heartburn or regurgitation
  • · Chronic cough or hoarse voice
  • · Existing PPI not working
  • · Lifestyle-related reflux
  • · Post-Ramadan flare-ups

What our programme includes

  • · H. pylori breath / stool test
  • · PPI titration and step-down
  • · Lifestyle, weight and sleep optimisation
  • · Gastroscopy referral for alarm symptoms
  • · Treatment review every 8 weeks

Tests we typically run

H. pylori antigenFBC & ferritinCoeliac antibodies

All bloods collected at our Business Bay clinic or by a DHA-licensed nurse at your home anywhere in Dubai.

When to seek urgent care
  • · Difficulty or pain on swallowing
  • · Vomiting blood or black stool
  • · Unintentional weight loss

If symptoms are severe or sudden, call 998 (Dubai ambulance) or attend A&E immediately.

Questions people ask us.

Should I be on a PPI long-term?+

Not necessarily. Many patients can step down or stop with the right lifestyle work and H. pylori eradication. We review properly rather than just repeat the prescription.

When do you refer for endoscopy?+

Alarm symptoms (weight loss, swallowing difficulty, anaemia, persistent vomiting, or failure to respond to 8 weeks of treatment in patients over 55) trigger a same-week gastroenterology referral.
