Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of recurrent bloating and gas which seems to be due to irritable bowel syndrome, intolerance to dairy products and overgrowth of bacteria in the small bowel.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid food like dairy products. You should drink warm water and do light exercises and eat light and non spicy food. If condition doesn't get well then consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may prescribe H2 blockers, proton pump inhibitor along with antibiotics and anti inflammatory medications. You should take plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
