default
Posted on Tue, 12 Jul 2016
Question: I always have a very hard stomach. Last time (around 2 years ago) I contacted gastroenterologist, he told it's GERD. That time I was facing issue with reverse reflux. NOW I dotn face that issue very much, but my stomach is not loose or smooth, when pressed it feels like its pressure filled with gas. Please suggest some medicines to get rid of this condition. also I have contacted dietician to get a good diet plan.

Brief Answer:
Bloating

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting your query at HealthcareMagic.

You seem to be having bloating which is associated with reflux (GERD) as well. Bloating is frequently associated with bacterial overgrowth, liver issues, antibiotic use, hard to digest foods.

A few lifestyle measures can help:

- Take easy to digest proteins avoiding beans, black gram etc
- Avoid unnecessary medicines especially antibiotics that can alter flora
- Regular exercise, lying sometime on stomach and massaging the abdomen in ILU fashion will relieve the bloating
- Take hygienic, home-made food and cleaner drinking water from an RO system

Please get examined physically by a surgeon to rule out anatomical cause and do an ultrasound.

Hope it helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
