How Can Abdominal Pain And Bloating Be Treated?
hi I do have stomach pain I believe is caused by excess gas. I ve been having this pain for a while. The last time I have this same pain my doctor did a blood test and told me that there are too much bacteria in my stomach and she prescribed me a 1 month dose of some medicine to reduce the bacteria count...now I have a different doctor and I told her about my previous case but she did not follow the same procedure. she prescribed me some antacid but I continued to have the pain. Is there any kind of medicine where I can ask my doctor to prescribed it for me. she wants me to have a colonoscopy instead which is not the problem

Hi Dear,
Understanding your concern. As per your query you symptoms of abdominal pain and bloating which could be due to consuming foods such as milk products in excess as they cause gas and it could be due to gastroenteritis and irritable bowel syndrome. Need not to worry.
I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . and doctor may order ultrasound , endoscopy along with stool test and start treatment accordingly as it's already been a month. Doctor may prescribe laxative , anti inflammatory along with antacids.
- Avoid milk products and eat light and non spicy specially at night.
- Take light walk after every meal.
- Eat small and frequent meals .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
