How To Treat Gas Causing Pain In And Around Stomach?

44yrs female, I have been suffering for over a year now from a stomach that is producing alot of gas causing much pain and belching, anytimne day and night. it has recently got worse to the point i have changed my hole diet and now can eat very little without it flaring up. I also have something that seems to move inside my stomach, bulges out and feels like it hits my rib cage on my right side, this occures when i try to tie shoe laces or move in certain positions, it is very painfull. What would you recommend i do next as this is driving me crazy and is very painfull. I had my galbladder out 10yrs ago.

Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

The symptoms are suggestive of either

* Gastro-esophageal-reflux-disease (GERD) due to hyperacidity/stomach ulcers, along with a bacterial infection (H.pylori); or,

*post-gall bladder removal dumping syndrome, a condition in which bile erodes the delicate inner lining stomach/duodenum and small gut.

A 2-weeks' course of anti-H.pylori therapy + Prokinetic drug such as metoclopramide + Probiotic such as, Lactobacilli; followed by (with effect from Day 15), 3-6 months' course of anti-acid drug (such as Rabeprazole or Lansoprazole) plus Probiotic and digestive enzymes, will cure the disease.

You should however, consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he will agree with me, order required tests (breath test for H.pylori, stool examination for bacteria and, Endoscopy). Based on the reports, he will prescribe the advised curative treatment in appropriate doses.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
