Gelusil, charcocaps

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.

I would provide information about certain over the counter agent which will be helpful. Over-the-counter products that contain simethicone (Gas-X, Gelusil, Mylanta, Mylicon) help break up the bubbles in gas. Charcoal tablets (CharcoCaps, Charcoal Plus, others) taken before and after a meal also may help.

I would suggest you, try to identify and avoid the foods that affect you the most. Often, bloating results from eating fatty foods. You can use probiotics like sporolac or ecobion.

I would have prescribed you capsule omeprazole 20 mg once daily before breakfast for a week. But this is as mentioned earlier is prescription drug, and you need to see local doctor.

If you have any further questions, I'll be glad to help you out.
Take care.
