How to manage stomach gas and loose motion?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 52-year-old male and experiencing stomach gas and loose motion. Whenever I take medications, to cure it, the symptoms improve temporarily, and after stopping taking tablets, it starts again. All my gastroenterology tests were clear and I have no other illness in my body. I have not undergone an endoscopy yet. Can you suggest any medications and advise me on the next steps?

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

I am sorry about your medical condition and I am glad that you are paying attention to changes in your body system. But do not worry. I am here to take care of you.

Based on your symptoms, I strongly believe you have developed a peptic ulcer disease due to high acidity in the stomach and this may be poorly controlled from the use of natural remedies.

I advise you to do the following:

Syrup Gaviscon (Aluminium hydroxide and Magnesium carbonate) 20 ml to be taken orally thrice daily for two weeks.
Tablets Omeprazole 40 mg to be taken orally twice daily for two weeks.

Kindly consult a specialist doctor, talk with them, and take medications with their consent.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
