Suggest Treatment For Gas, Flatulence And Headaches
I have a lot of gas for the past 6 months and it is causing me headaches. I have had an endoscopic and colon cleansing procedure which we could hear and see the gas bubbles. I burped on and off during the procedure as soon as I awaken and in the middle of the night it wakes me up. I am on probiotics and enzymes as well as a colonmax from my Alternative health consultant. What is this condition called and is this a sign of gluten free food requirements?

Hi,
Excess gas & flatulence might be due to conditions like aerophagia or gastric or intestinal causes. So it's must to find out which type it is. I advice you to:
- Chew food thoroughly, eat slowly and leisurely
Avoid talking during meals
- Avoid excess carbonated drinks.
- Avoid chewing gums, betel nuts.
- Avoid gas forming foods eg. Cabbage, cauliflower, peas etc & also air whipped food, eg butter milk, milk shakes, sponge, cakes, idlis, puris.
- Take Antacid with dimethycon tablet or liquid after food
- Rule out amoebic infection
lf associated diarrhea, take Enzyme digestants and pancreatin after each meal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
