A few options listed, pls write back if I have not listed what you need

Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.

Thank you for writing to us.

I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Ma'am, before we go into the drugs I would like you to hear me out for a bit. Imagine some one you know had a thorn lodged in one of their finger. Of course, thats got to hurt. And what if you would see some one give them an oral pain killer telling them this was the solution, and that there was no other way to it.

You would obviously want to intervene and tell them that the thorn is the problem, take it out and this person would feel better almost instantaneously, right?

Well, your issue is the same ma'am. There will be some underlying condition causing the abdominal gas, bloating and pain. Treating the symptoms may help, but only partially because as long as the underlying condition is present the symptoms will continue to be present.

But as requested by you, here are some medications that should help:

+Pantoprazole tablets (20 mg or 40 mg) to be taken 15 minutes before each meal
+Lansoprazole tablets
+Omeprazole tablets
+Ranitidine

Along with:

+Sucralfate syrup: 2 tablespoons 3 times a day before each meal for 3-6 months should help provide more permanent relief in comparison to the above mentioned tablets

I hope you find my response helpful. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.

Best wishes.
