Posted on Tue, 15 Mar 2016
Question: I have been bloated for about a week now and five days ago I started feeling like there was something rumbling in my upper left abdomen. Then two days ago when ever I bend over I get a sharp burning pain that shoots threw my upper left abdomen. Is it because I am bloated and have been having more then normal bm's.

Brief Answer:
Could be related to acute gastritis.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

Feeling boated in stomach,rumbling sound in abdomen with sharp burning pain could be related to acute gastritis or irritable bowel syndrome since you also have more bowel motions than normal.

But it needs further evaluation by clinical examination and various tests to arrive at a certain conclusion since the problem has been from a week.

So,I will advise you to go for routine blood works,ESR and abdominal ultrasound to rule out any infection or other gastric issue apart from gastritis.

Meanwhile, you should take symptomatic over the counter medications and dietary precautions to get relieved from this bloating and stomach burning pain.

1) Take over the counter antacids tablets like Tab.Pantoprazole 40 with Tab.Gas-X twice daily to get relieved from the symptoms of bloating and sharp burning pain.

2) Syrup digene 2 TSF three times a day will also be helpful.

3) Avoid hot,oily and spicy foods.

5) Avoid eating full stomach one at a time rather, take small meals frequently.

6) Have soft diet only for next 3 to 5 days.

7) Avoid complex carbohydrates like beans, potato and carbonated beverages and milk based products which are hard to digest.

8) Quit alcohol or smoking if you do.

9) Drink plenty of water and fruit juices the day.

10) There are certain digestive enzymes (Uni-enzymes) available over the counter which will also be helpful in the digestion of carbohydrates and minimize the gas production.

I expect you to get better within 2 to 3 days but if your problem persists longer, then i will advice you to see physician or gastro-physician who can order various tests (like routine blood works,abdominal ultrasound) and can come to a particular diagnosis and start the treatment.

Hope this will help you. wish you good health
