Suggest Remedy For Excessive Gas And Lower Abdominal Cramps

I have had for the past three weeks bad gas and cramping in the lower part of tummy. This sometimes mean I need to go to the bath room. But I have been able to relieve this or go to the bathroom. I take gas x and other gas remedies without results. This is ashamed to go out because of offending others. What can I do?

Hello,

The issue seems in relation with digestive enzyme disturbances or motility disorder. Though per rectal examination is best tool to initiate the diagnostic approach, following measures will help you for primary relief till consultant surgeon visit:
- Drink plenty of liquids
- Consume high fiber diet including green leafy veg, cereals, pulses, legumes, berries
- Avoid all spices, non veg, junk food, dairy fat
- Take bulk forming laxative such as Bran, Psyllium with glassful of lukewarm water every night
- Chew your food very thoroughly
- Consume frequent small amount of meals
- Avoid over eating or prolong fasting
- Do not sleep for a period of 2 hours after lunch or dinner
- Do regular aerobics
- Control body weight, blood sugar and cholesterol
- Manage regular sound sleep of 8 hours
- Avoid smoking, alcohol if consuming
- Prescription of anti spasmodic medication as Drotaverine or Dicyclomine hydrochloride
