Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone very carefully through your query. Our gastrointestinal tract has a forward propulsive movement (peristalsis) that moves the food material forward as it is digested, absorbed and finally expelled as feces. If somehow this movement gets hampered, food along with the digestive juices would stagnate, stomach acid will reflux into the food pipe and on the other hand the bowel habits would not be proper. Degradation of undigested food in the intestines by the intestinal bacteria would lead to the excess gas formation and thereby bloating.

In order to relieve yourself, you need to do the following:
* Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
* Avoid alcohol intake (if it a part of your habit).
* Take Prilosec (omeprazole) once daily before breakfast.
* Take plenty of green leafy vegetables as well as other sources of dietary fibers. Take fiber supplements like isabgol/psyllium husk or senna. I would insist you to increase your dietary fiber intake.
* Regular morning walk and exercise to keep the bowel movements proper.
* Take curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and should help.

I do not see an image attached. Please reupload. Alternatively you can email it to YYYY@YYYY with the query id 316072 and my name in the subject.

I would await your response. Let me know if I could help further.

Thanks for writing back. I have checked the attached image. There could me a sinus tract which could occur due to anal fissure and fistula. You should visit a surgeon to get it evaluated. I would insist you not to ignore it.
