Suggest Treatment For Bloating And Tightness In Stomach

Posted on Fri, 31 Jul 2015

Question: Hi, I am suffering from acute Gastro problem since many days; My stomach is most of the time in a "bloated" condition and "tightness" of muscle in mid-stomach region is making it very difficult for me to sit comfortably in front of dining table,computer etc. I can pass stools only in a "standing" position and also find it difficult to clean the stools. I have history of operations of Pelvic lipamatosis in 2008 and Augmentation cystoplasty operation in 2009. Since about three years , I am suffering from kidney disease (CKD) now in stage 3-4. My Ultrasound report indicates only severe Hydronephrosis of ureters, and Bladder wall thickening but there is no evidence of any tumour etc.I am 62 years male , also having Hypertension(under control).Please suggest a good and longstanding remedy.

Brief Answer:
Seems gastrocollitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for writing in

It is really sad you are suffering from so many medical conditions

Regarding your bloated stomach I feel it is due to gastritis and some form of collitis as there are issues with the passage of stool also

I would suggest you take a Proton pump inhibitor once a day, for three to four weeks

Ofloxacin and ornidazole twice a day for seven to ten days

Probiotic twice a day for four to six weeks

One word of caution take all medicines after consulting your nephrologist

Hope this helps
Do write back in case of concern

Hi doctor, thanks for your reply.
could you please suggest the name of proton pump inhibitor which I have to take?
Also, whether on empty stomach or after meals?
Whether Oflaxacin and Ornidazole BOTH to be taken and also their Brand names etc.?
Probiotic supplement name may also kindly be indicated.
Also, I forgot to indicate earlier that I pass stools a number of times in a day , say eight to ten times and on somedays, it is quite the opposite; I think this is a kind of irritable bowel syndrome which is also quite a nuisance to me though I cannot help it. I want to know if these symptoms can somewhat be eased /managed by allopathic medicines? I need your guidance in this regard also.
