Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain, Bloating And Nausea
I have been experiencing pain in my side, bloating, gas, nausea, frequent bowel movements. My family Doctor thinks I might have IBS. I have had surgery on my colon about ten years ago. Diverticulitis was the reason. I have had a CT Scan about a month ago. No diverticulitis. The pain in my side is concerning me a lot. I m worried because it doesn t go away and sometimes intensifies. I have an appointment with a GI specialist the end of April. I was wondering if I need to see him sooner. What is your thought on this. Thanks, Vicky

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,
Feeling boated in stomach,nausea,stomach pain with frequent bowel movements could be related to dyspepsia, IBS or acute gastritis but it needs further evaluation by clinical examination and various tests to have confirmed diagnosis.
If your symptoms are not so troublesome then i can suggest you some medications and dietary precautions to get relieved from this bloating.
1) Proton pump inhibitors (pantoprazole 40 or rabeprazole 20)
2) H2 blockers like Rantac150
3) Syrup digene 2 TSF three times a day
4) Avoid hot,oily and spicy foods rather take bland diet for initial few days
5) Avoid eating full stomach one at a time rather take small and frequent meals.
6) Have soft diet only for next 2 to 3 days
7) Take salads (cucumber, cabbage, carrot,beat) in the meal,more take vegetables
8) Quit alcohol if you take
9) Walk slowly after every meal but do not walk fast. Avoid taking rest immediately after meal.
All the medications are available over the counter and if not then you should consult your family physician or some local doctor who will know about the drugs and can prescribe you.
If your problem persists then i will advice you to see physician or gastro physician who can order various tests and can come to a particular diagnosis and start the treatment.
Regards,
