Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
I have read your query and understand the concern about stomach pain,gas and indigestion.
Symptoms of bloating of stomach,gas and stomach pain are likely because of acute gastritis with indigestion,the first possibility I would think in your case.
At present, I would suggest you to try some symptomatic over the counter medications with some dietary precautions to get relief from these symptoms.
1) Take antacids tablets (like Tab.Pantoprazole 40mg or Tab.Rabiprazole 20mg) with Tab.Gas-X twice daily to get relief from the symptoms of gas trouble or bloating.
2) Take syrup Digene 2TSF will also be helpful.
3) Take digestive enzymes like Unienzyme once daily which is available over the counter) will also be helpful in the digestion of carbohydrates and minimize the gas production and bloating.
4) Avoid eating full stomach one at a time rather, instead take small meals frequently.
5) Avoid complex carbohydrates (like beans, potato) and carbonated beverages and milk based products which are hard to digest. Drink plenty of water and fruit juices.
6) Avoid hot,oily and spicy foods and prefer home food or take soft diet for initial few days.
7) Avoid talking which eating, as doing so may also cause further gas formation inside stomach. It will also be helpful in minimizing gas production.
With above symptomatic treatment and dietary precautions,we would expect to see some improvement within 3 to 5 days.
But in case if problem persists longer or even after above precautions, then it would be advisable to see physician or gastro-physician for further evaluation..
Hope this detailed explanation will be helpful.
