Suggest Cure For Sickness In The Stomach

I am a 42 year old woman that has been suffering with uncontrollable non-stop gas for over a year. The gas sometimes has a burnt smell. The gas is always very strong in odor. The smell lessens when I avoid eating or drinking anything but it never goes away. I have lost around 20 pounds because I avoid eating (especially at work) to try to help the smell. I have always been an anxious person that is under a lot of stress and on occasion have to take anxiety medicine for panic attacks. I have tried every over the counter medicines such as Gas-x, Charcoal, Chlorophyll, Chlorofresh... I have mostly diarrhea but sometimes constipation. I have seen a gastro doctor but they haven t been able to find anything. I am just given different foods to avoid.

Hello
I share your concern
Looking at your description this could be caused by Hiatus hernia, acid reflux disease or liver and gall bladder disease
bloating can be caused by Aerophagia (swallowing of air)

I would like more information to help you better like
Your age and relevant medical history
since how long you have this problem?

In my opinion you should consult a doctor for an Chest X ray blood investigation like hemoglobin, CBC and liver function test and an endoscopy if need be

Meanwhile you can start with anti acidity like pantoprazole or omeprazole with antacids and anti emetic like domperidone
Have small and frequent food, avoid overeating
Don't lie down immediately after food
Have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables
Avoid fatty fried spicy and junk good

Hope this helps you
Please feel free to ask for more clarification I will be happy to help you
best wishes
