Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking on HCM.
You are reporting to have gasses and abdominal discomfort.These symptoms may be related with:
- gallbladder issues
- IBS/ mild food intolerance
I would suggest to do abdominal ultrasound to rule out gallbladder issues.
Meantime I would suggest to use :
- simethicone to decrease gas forming
- probiotics to help increasing bacterial gut.
If it will not be improved than you can use digestive enzymes like Creon.
Hope it was helpful to you.

I am having this gas issue from last one year but aometimes it increase alot that i have trapped gases and i already had untrasound 3 times in last one year and nothing was found , last ultrasound i has was 4 months back. I do use snethicone tables which sometimes work and sometime dont , is there some internal problem or this is due to some food allregies, becauss from last 1 week im having these gases on daily bases , trapped gases that i feel inside and are not passing and once passed it forms again..

Hi and thank you for asking!
Thank you for providing more of your medical data!
To my opinion your symptoms are mostly related with IBS or mild food intolerance.
It would be great if you can do upper endoscopy and biopsy on duodenum to rule out mild food intolerance like gluten intolerance.
Meantime I would suggest to use medications mentioned above.
