What Causes Stomach Pain And Gas After Having Bitter Gourd Juice?
i took bitter gourd juice (i take this regularly) and within 15 mins of that also had a glass of warm water (this was the first time). From the next day morning i have had a mild pain in the stomach, probably due to gas or acidity. Its been about 3 days now and the pain has not subsided - I have been taking gelusil + cold milk (twice a day) + cool water. What should i do next?
