Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear cause of excessive gas in the intestines boils down to: inadequate protein digestion (causing some foods to ferment), inability to break down sugar and carbohydrates fully (certain complex sugar compounds need the presence of enzymes to be digested fully, yet people can be lacking these), and imbalances in gut bacteria. In the digestive tract, there are trillions of healthy and unhealthy bacteria that compete, and when “bad bacteria” outweigh the good for one reason or another, an imbalance can lead to abdominal bloating and excessive gas.

causes of bloting are:

1.Digestive disorders
2.Fluid retention
3.Dehydration
4.Constipation
5.Food allergies or sensitivities
6.SIBO
7.Infection
8.Bowel obstruction
9.Hormonal changes
10.Cancer

So avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid caffeinated drinks. Regular exercise and avoid dairy products and peanut.

use tab.simethicone twice a day for five days. Use tab.pantaprazole before breakfast. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.


Take care
