Hello,

Your problem seems to be caused by Stomach/gut upset, it needs life style modification before any medication , here is what you need to do.
1) Avoid coffee, caffeine, Fizzy drinks , junk food, smoking, alcohol (What ever is relevant).
2) Take small multiple meals instead of few larger ones.
3) Drink much fluids.
4) Use fruits and vegetables more than meat.
5) Use fiber diet like fruits vegetables whole grain bread and fiber supplements if needed.
6) Stay physically active.
7) If you are over weight reduce it.
8) After trying out all these measure you can use syrup gaviscon thrice a day this will keep a check at your gut PH.
9) You can discuss with you doctor about digestive enzymes they too help with digestion and excessive gas.
10) I also recommend similar patients to use Omeprazole 40mg once a day to check stomach acid levels you can discuss this with your doctor.
