Sompraz for duodenal ulcer is causing gas problem. What to do?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Any ulcers in the duodenum, can cause the feeling of wind anytime. Proper treatment is required to get rid of it. Only Sompraz (Esomeprazole) will not solve the problems. You have to give some other medicines to him. Avoid fatty and spicy food. Do regular walk and exercise is a must. Let done USG (ultrasound) whole abdomen to exclude other problems.

Duodenal ulcer usually takes about an average of two months to heal. It varies in different conditions. If you follow the advice properly then it will heal in around one month. Sompraz has very less side effects, but for a long time it can cause flatulence. Also, more than one month treatment is not of any use. You should take some ulcer healing drugs which I mentioned previously. I think you will be completely all right with the above-mentioned treatment in one month. You can change Sompraz to Lan 30 (Lansoprazole) tablet for one week as it is more effective with less side effects.

Hello,

I can understand your concern. But I can definitely say that two months or a year ulcer is not going to progress to a cancer. If ulcer is for more than five years than there is around five percent chances of stomach cancer. But I cannot deny from that it would not happened as I have seen lot of people of stomach cancer who have no history of duodenal ulcer. So there are many factors for cancer in which genetic history is most specific factor. Duodenal ulcer is one factor but with very little chance less than one percent. So just forget about cancer or any complications. Just enjoy your life and my request to you to enjoy your life stress free as stress is the cause of many problems. Please update me about your stomach pain or any other problems so if required I will update the treatment.Thank you.
