Suggest Treatment For Frequent Bloating And Gas In Stomach

I am 48YRS male, having bloating frequently and gas troubles and chest cough problems,urinary infection sometimes and chilling sometimes and difficulty swallowing only sometimes....but losing weight and getting depressed and sleepy most of the time for past 6months. I did my blood and urine tests, they are normal, except little urinary infection, while passing urine its little cloudy sometimes. I am having mild prostatomegaly and excessive bowel gas, and kidney calculi of 3.9mm size, mild fullness of the pcs, while i scanned my abdomen. I am taking Homeopathic medicine for these... is there more complications in it....i am worried if i have any type of cancer as my family members one or two have already..my sister 8yrs younger to me now under treatment for colon cancer..... please give advice

Hi,

1. As there is a positive family history of colon cancer, [ with urine infection/weight loss] thus it is wise to consult with a Gastroenterologist to go for a complete physical examination with the necessary investigation(s) like colonoscopy/CEA [carcino embryonic antigen] test.

2. As prostate enlargement is there, which could be the cause of urine infection, thus go for ultrasound Prostate [to know the grade of enlargement], along with PSA [prostate specific antigent] test, also the presence of renal calculi too is contributing to the same, till then

- urine culture to guide subsequent therapy, and
- if structural abnormalities are suspected, do renal imaging studies
- . maintain proper hydration [to prevent dehydration] and replace with electrolytes [avoid apple, grapes, pear juice which can make stomach upset].

- Avoid fiber-rich diet, since it can make bloating worse [instead take plain white rice, boiled potato, plain toast]
- stay away from artificial sweeteners, avoid eating dairy items, spicy food, and spicy condiments, stay away from artificial sweeteners
- take less of strong spices (ginger, garlic), oily-fried-fatty food, and flatus producing foods (peas, beans, dals)
- eat slowly, avoid haste-irregular eating and sweet/heavy food which are difficult to digest and cause indigestion
- since it is a psychosomatic disease thus tranquility of mind is a must, as such Medhya drugs or a mild tranquilizer are useful.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
