What Causes Gas Formation, Constipation And Regurgitation?
Question: Dear Doctor,
I’m 29 year old Male. Single. My wiegt is 48 kg and hight is 175 cm
I have been suffering from stomach disorder since long time. If I can recollect, it started when I was 18 year old. It started with feeling burning sensation in stomach. Then I consulted a doctor. Doctor gave me Gelusil and I felt ok. But, ever since I have some or other disorder in the stomach. I feel like whatever I ate is being not digested and so it is not being absorbed by body. Hence my body weight is around 46-48 kg since long time. I have a feeling that the growth of my body got stuck ever since I got these problems.
I did endoscopy and colonoscopy. The results of both the tests were fine.
However, I’m suffering from one or the other problems listed below almost every time
• Gas formation
• Pain from up domain (not frequently)
• Constipation/loose motion
• Burning sensation
• Regurgitation
• Not able to take allopathic medicine especially tablets for continuously for 2 to 3 days. If continue the medicine more than 2 or three days I feel tired and get dark stool. So these I’m consulting homeo doctor.
I get above problems when I have
Fried food
Oily food
Spicy food
Soft drinks
I feel ok when I eat
Properly or bit more cooked rice and vegetables with less oil and spice
When I eat fruits
But this is not helping me to put weight. I want to put at least another five kg.
Please help me

Brief Answer:
Get tested
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
I would advise you to get workup done for Celiac disease
The workup includes endoscopy and biopsy. But there is an easy way out. Get Anti TTG Antibody test done from a reliable laboratory. This is simply a blood test.
If this comes out to be negative then we will treat you for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).
Get the investigation and write back to me again.
Stay Healthy.
