default
Posted on Wed, 12 Oct 2016
Question: Recently you suggested me Pan-D capsules for 30days when I reported of bloating and gas problem .
But, after 4days of consuming capsules, I used to get a lot a cluster headache, I checked that it is a side-effect of Pan-D, I stopped the capsule and started to just not skip the breakfast. But someday's I do skip it. I feel that day, a lot of gas. Sometimes its just fine.

Brief Answer:
follow as already advised along with the following advises..

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX Welcome back,
I've gone through your query and understand your concern..

Yes, I've recalled our previous session where I've specifically stressed on the fact that YOU HAVE TO EAT BREAKFAST AFTER TAKING THIS ON DAILY BASIS and also to make it a daily routine(having breakfast)..

Don't worry, as headache is a common side effect of Pantoprazole/Domperidone (both of them), but since you've it, it can be avoided.. also note that if you don't eat breakfast (as already explained) after the medicine, even that can produce headache too..

Eat in small but frequent interval meals through out the day (4-5 small meals per day instead of 2-3 large meals)..

Try to chew foods properly before swallowing..also take small portion of foods in mouth and eat slowly, it'll help reducing gas formation..

Certain food products like cabbage, cauliflower, radish, sprouts and partly cooked beans, dairy products (except curd/yogurt) should be avoided as they're prone for causing gas..

Avoid chewing gums, sodas and candy..

If the gas formation is too bothersome, You can try Simethicone i.e. Tab GAS-X (100 mg) twice daily after food for 10 days and let me know how you stay (there is no significant side effect of this apart from being allergic to it)

Drink plenty of water through out the day(~ 2.5 ltr per day)..avoid smoking and alcohol(if you do)..
Please ensure to have regular bowel movements as any constipation related concern can further increase the gas formation, let me know about it too (if you have)..

Let me know how you stay in the due course..
