Suggest Treatment For Constant Stomach Bloating With Flatulence In An Elderly Woman

I have gas and bloating almost all the time with loud burping and flatulence occasionally. My stomach swells abnormally. I am a 70 yr. old female. I have been diagnosed with IBS and try to stay away from foods that will trigger it. Now I m wondering if maybe it is Gluten related.

Hello dear,my name is dr,Dorina Gurabardhi.I understand your concern.
Some of the reasons of constant stomach bloating can be:
-Slower digestion
-Medications
-Swallowing air
-Certain foods, for example, vegetables like broccoli, cabbage, legumes, and onions.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Charcoal tablets is a type of medication that is sold over the counter. It absorbs gas in the digestive system.
-Take probiotics
-Simethicone is a medication that has been known to help with gas problems.
