What Causes Abdominal Bloating And Gas When Diagnosed With GERD And Hiatus Hernia?
Gas x can be taken at recommended dose and please take meals on time
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. An ultrasound abdomen is unable to evaluate the inside of the stomach and the diaphragm. Therefore any progress of the hiatal hernia or the GERD has not been evaluated. Having stress and unable to eat proper meals can cause increase in symptoms of GERD and hiatus hernia.
2. There are special investigations to look for GERD and hiatus hernia like barium studies using x ray and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and it is important that you talk to your doctor and get a work up done for GERD and hiatus hernia. You can also try controlling your stress level and have a normal eating pattern.
3. You can take Gas x medicine to control your symptoms. It is given at a recommended dose not to exceed 500 mg in 24 hours. Prilosec is to be taken the way it has been recommended.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
