Have Swollen Stomach Gas And Pain In Belly. Has Taken Adderall. Is It Normal?
I just started taking my adderall again. This timeiit s only 15 or 20 mg and is generic. This is the second day I have taken it. My pill qore off hrs ago but my stomach is swollen and feels like trappwd gas and lots of pain in the belly. Will this subside after my body gets used to it or should I not have this problem?
Hi,
swollen stomach and gas are symptoms that are managed based on whether they are of acute onset of chronic in nature. When accompanied by constipation, the age also matters. However management always starts with diet modifications with increase intake of vegetables, fibre, drinking much water and fluids and exercise. Avoiding gas producing foods and late meals could also be very helpful. A stool exam and culture to exclude any parasites or bacteria at times is useful. Failure of these measures shall demand a more critical evaluation by the gastroenterologist to exclude Irritable bowel syndrome, polyps or tumours of the intestines.
If its persistent, consulting a gastroenterologist is my suggestion.
Thanks and best regards,
Luchuo, MD.
