How Can Gas That Cannot Be Belched Leading To Discomfort After Eating Be Managed In An Elderly Person?

Sometimes even after taking small quantity of food, Gas starts coming from stomach and keeps coming for even for half an hour as if a gas producer is in stomach ! If a keep walking inside the house slowly, I get relief by breathing out the gas. This happens even when I take simple vegetarian food. I just cannot keep sitting. This appears unbelievable. I feel I may vomit if I don't release the gas. Otherwise health OK.

Hi,

Let her suck Gelusil mps tablet over the counter. Give two pinches of soda bicarbonate in a glass of warm water with 15 drops of lemon juice. If nothing is available, let her put both of her palms on two sides of lumber regions and go on saying Vitthal. Vitthal while keep on walking slowly up to 50 steps at a time. Rest for a while and restart same exercise. It would give relief in 10-15 minutes!

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
