Brief Answer:
Metamucil, Prilosec, Probiotics
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.
To have good bowel movements, you need to take high fiber diet and drink enough fluids. Some amount of physical activity is also important. Initially you may consider taking fiber supplements like metamucil.
Indigestion could be due to acid peptic disease, helicobacter pylori infection, smoking, alcohol intake, stomach bug etc. You can get relief with medications like prilosec and a course of probiotics.
I hope that answers your question.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
