Have Gas And Pain In Belly. Excessive Farting. Left Side Belly Is Hard. Suggestions?

Good day doctor,

I am 43 years man. I experienced much air/gas on my belly last night that resulted on excessive farting, but I discovered pain all over my belly when I work up this morning, tried to feel my belly, I discovered that the left side of my belly is harder than the right side. I went to my doctor and he requested I should go for sonar and report back tomorrow. I am worried and wish to know if any advice from you doctor.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that you are having your symptoms due to gastritis caused by excessive acidity and gas production in your stomach.

You can take an antacid like Omeprazole 40 mg along with Domperidone once a day before breakfast.

Following precautions will be helpful :-
1. Do not miss a meal.
2. Avoid spicy and oily foods.
3. Avoid smoking/alcohol, if any.
4. Avoid emotional/mental stress.
5. Do not self medicate, especially with pain killers and steroids.
6. Avoid gas producing foods like peas, legumes, etc.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
