Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Bloating, Nausea And Heartburn

Have a history of bloating, gas, slight cramping, nausea (rare), heartburn but recently I have been stooling (mushy stool) almost watery but not quite watery and I saw some egg-white textured mucus in my stool. Doctor gave me Ciproflaxin for 3 days and its the 2nd day and I am still getting the urge to stool. Still mushy texture but no more pain in abdomen. A lot of stomach rumbling and gurgling when I eat or drink. What do you think? I also get the feeling like gas is trapped in my gut and i can hear it sometimes when i twist my abdominal muscles.

Hi,

A certain degree of bloating is normal but in case of excessive bloating, it may be a sign of food allergy, hiatal hernia, IBS or inflammatory bowel diseases.
So you should do gastroenterology work up but first, try to change your dietary habits, it means: eat smaller meals but more frequently, avoid fried and spicy food, take menta tea, avoid alcohol and coffee, eat probiotics and milk products, boiled food and vegetables.
Also, there are medications such as Flobian, Magnesium oxide or certain Laxatives which may relieve such symptoms of this continue. If there is no improvement on these measures, you should consider doing diagnostic tests such as colonoscopy, anal sphincter manometry and food allergy testing.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
