Hi welcome to Health care magic,
Bloating and gas may be due to involvement of Gall bladder, stomach, liver and Pancreas. Pain in legs may be related.
Please ask him to take a course of Omeprazole, and a liquid antacid with simethicone.
He can add an OTC digestive enzyme preparation.
If there is no improvement in a week--please get an abdominal sonography, liver function tests and serum amylase for Pancreas.
