Suggest Treatment For Stomach Ache, Constipation And Vomiting

default
Posted on Wed, 8 Oct 2014
Question: I am having stomach pain quite often for last few days.
I feel it may be because of gas or something. I will narrate my food intake pattern.

I take food some biscuits/roti and chay as breakfast at 8.30-9.
I take my lunch at 9.45 or so, which includes roti sabji dal, light in quantity.

In day time, I take some snacks, may be biscuits or some 1 or 2 fruits like apple or guaua or banana or may be a bit of rice/poha at around 2-3 PM.

I return home at 7 and have some snacks, like boiled corn or cold coffee or juice.
I take my dinner at 9 or so and that's generally roti/bhakhri, sabji, n milk.

I go for garaba practice at 10 and do that for an hour n come back by 11.15.
I do some chit chat n sleep by 12-1.

This goes well generally, but generally I suffer with constipation, gas and at times stomach ache.

For last 2 times, there is a more or less common food I have taken, and I have suffered from stomach pain like below..

I have taken boiled corn after taking nothing in entire day, except morning lunch, which is followed by some heavy food in dinner like pizza, macroni and then doing garaba practice.

Both time, just after dinner, in 20 25 minutes, I had vomited everything out and had got good pain in stomach later on.

Please guide what's wrong in my case.
Please suggest some home remedies to get quick relief from such pain, when there is such stomachache.

Thanks a ton.

It looks that this is just an indigestion to the heavy foods you had taken along with the exertion you have doing Garba. This is something that your body had refused to accept and digest.

This should resolve on its own as you have already vomited it out.
Yrs to control the pain , you may take the following :
Tablet Ranitidine
Antispasmodic tablets if you have.
Plenty of oral fluids if nausea and vomiting have been under control..


You may be alright very soon.

Hi Sir,

Yes, I am in XXXXXXX for last few years, but I am from XXXXXXX actually.

The stomach pain was indeed related to indigestion as you pointed out and I am fine now. My question was little broader.

1. I am having gas and constipation regularly, and probably that only causes me headache as well. Being a G6PD deficient I generally dont take medicines, but if i have take some medicine while headache, I go for sinarest, as that works for me.

But, i am sure sinarest is not really meant for normal headache, so it might be creating some side effects as well. It has got salts like Paracetamol as well AFAIK.

Can you suggest some good medicines or homely remedies which can help me recover faster in such situation?

2. Do you really see if the regular problems of gas be because of my diet pattern or diet itself by any chance?

3. With little exertion or a day outing or little rain experience causes me much of headache at times. What can be the reason to it? Any remedies that u can suggest please.

Kindly guide. Thanks a ton.

Brief Answer:
Tests / Consultations / note causative factors

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Read your questions carefully.
The first thing noticed that you have shifted to XXXXXXX recently and it is possible that the water and some foods may not be suitable for you. Do you take food at home / mess / canteen ?

* for Gas and Constipation I would advise :
First of all get investigated-
Blood- CBC, Widal for Typhoid, Liver function tests.
Stool- Routine and microscopy

If normal you may take liq Cremaffin Plus, start with 1 tsf at bed time and to adjust the dose as per your requirement to get a soft stool. Add Probiotics and multivitamins, Activated charcoal tablets like Gasex or Flatuna. Take fresh curds as it works as probiotic, our food habits look good. Observe very keenly what increases your problems, note down on a paper and strictly avoid that at any cost.

Please let me know the reports of lab tests.

You may refer to the internet to get a list of medicines you must avoid in G6PD deficiency. You can always get a help of a Hematologist or a MD Medicine Doctor as he is the best trained and experienced person to tell you about this.

If Sinarest has not caused hemolysis, means it suits you. But as you correctly noted this is not the right choice. I would advise you to get investigated for the headache.
Please tell me in details about headache. I may be in a position to tell you more.
If sinarest has helped you and headache starts on exertion / day out / little rain, it is possible first to consult an ENT surgeon and then a second opinion of another Specialist as advised by him. Headache has so many causes from a general disease like typhoid, malaria to ENT, Neuro and so on. Once a specific cause of headache is found the treatment will be very specific and you may get a permanent cure needing no treatment at all in the later days.

I hope I have covered all the three points and associated thought you have although they are not in the same chronology as you asked.

Please feel free to ask more, Start the treatment, rather management as suggested by me and you may get a great relief.
You may please rate this answer if you liked it.

Thanks sir.

I have been here for 4 years or so, and for food it's a mixed thing.
Cook is there to cook food, I too prepare on own and also take food in office.
On the food side, I feel it's not that worst as it seems to be, but not that really good food as one can have at his own home.

I have undergone a full body checkup few days back, that covers Hemogram, Urinogram, Thyroid, Kidney, Liver and Lipid Profile tests.
All reports I have uploaded in my profile, it wouuld be great if you can refer to them and highlihg what is to be improved and how.
Stool test was not covered though.

When I say constipation, it's not extreme serious and a daily affair, but due to hactic life cycle, I may not be able to give justice to daily chores properly, and it results in constipation or gas.
Weekly or fortnightly once I take Zandu Virechan Churna or Himej Churna to clean my body, and that really makes me feel lighter.
I will start taking chremafine as suggested.

Regarding headache, it happens to me when I go in Sunlight, after sitting for hours in office.
I am staying in XXXXXXX and mostly spend day time in office, so if it happens to go to heavy sunlight sometime or high temperature area, I get headache.
Similarly, when there is rain and cold, I get headache sensation. While travelling, and specifically if I take curd/milk or some spcific such food, while journey, I get headache.
I would surely visit my family physician to get investigated for headache and get in touch with you.

Kindly review my reports and tell me what needs to be improved and what best can be done for it?
Thanks a lot for your help and guidance.

Brief Answer:
Pl reload reports.

Detailed Answer:
Waiting for the reports, please upload again.

Yet try to note down the foods / beverages ( as you have for milk and curds) which may be implicated.

Get the stool test done.

Very true. This morning time has to be your own, mobiles and telephones off. Hectic schedule should start at office time, not before. Try this. Whatever job you may be doing you can deny everyone in the mornings ( I have tried and succeeded).
This will help to have the body clock well set and solve may of the problems.

Using Churn like you are is good, but as a caution do not use them more often or you may get addicted in a way that the intestines may ask for more later. Even Use Cremaffin plus only if required.

Please visit Physician and let me know if any investigations or opinions fr headache.

Reports not yet on my screen, please re-load.
