Suggest Treatments For Gastric Trouble At Night
A specialist has scoped my stomach and found no serious problem, but I still get painful gas, especially at 3-4AM while sleeping. I need to get out until I can belch enough to sleep again. I have had an ultra sound of internal organs that came back normal. I have tried many drugs and now my doctor is going to run a breth test for intestinal bacteria. Can you please tell me how to stop the gas pain? Thank you, Michelle

Hi,
Since you have gastric discomfort at night, avoid eating after 7 pm. It can be due to some food allergy (lactose intolerance, allergy to some food like legumes, cauliflower, etc), Avoid oily, spicy junk food & artificial sugars, take high fiber diet & drink plenty of water. Avoid constipation.
Other causes are Acid Reflux, GERD, IBS & Colon Cancer. Get physically evaluated. Take antacids, digestive enzymes, acid blockers (ranitidine, famotidine), PPI's (Rabeprazole, Omeprazole, etc), Laxative (Dulcolax). Avoid addictions if any.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
