Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
I read carefully all your concerns and I can say as follows;
1. You are reporting to have had stomach problems.
It is true that office job( sitting all the time) makes difficult to pass the gas through gastrointestinal tract.
2. Otherwise I suggest to :
- eat often and small amount of meal
- avoid foods that increase gas like beans , broccoli, carbonated drinks sweet foods.
- use plenty of water
- avoid swallowing gas during meal
- use simethicone to decrease gas forming
- use PPI's OTC like Prilosec
- increase physical activity
3. If there is no improvement than I suggest to do :
- upper endoscopy
- abdominal ultrasound
to better evaluate your symptoms.
Hope it was helpful to you.
