Suggest A Treatment For Constant Gas And Bloating

I have had constant gas and bloating. it is an instant dash to the bathroom. sometimes its just gas other times it is like lining from the colon. it happens usually when I eat anything instantly and every morning when I awake. this has been going on for about a year and a half and getting worse. I have tried the high fiber, activia,probiotics, and now I am taking the new colon ease. It seems to be getting worse. I also have hemroids that wont quit . What the heck is this?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain constant gas and bloating can be due to formation of excessive intestinal gas and can be due to a number of causes like eating excessive fatty food, food intolerance, eating too fast, smoking, stress, diseases like Irritable bowel syndrome, Celiac disease etc..

I would suggest you to consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like Colonoscopy, Barium Swallow,ultrasound can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..

You can be advised to avoid heavy and fatty foods.
You can be advised to drink plenty of warm water..
Avoid tea and coffee as it can cause dehydration and can exaggerate the condition..
You should continue taking Probiotics like Yoghurt in diet..
Take more of green leafy vegetables and fruits..
Eat every 2 hours in small portions of foods..
Do moderate workout and avoid sitting for long durations..
You can also be advised to take medicine Simethicone that will help in reducing intestinal gas and bloating..
In case if you have Hemorrhoids you can take stool softeners like Docusate and fibre supplements like Psyllium to ease in bowel evacuation..
In case if there is pain you can apply steroid based creams as well as sit in a tb of warm water 2 to 3 times a day for relief..
Avoid spicy food..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
