Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have stomach issues, and my stomach is bloated all the time. It keeps rumbling, I have gas and burp frequently. My stool is not very solid, slightly powdered, and I have been having this problem for about four months. I have been watching my diet and taking probiotics, but it does not seem to get better. I am taking Esomac 40 in the morning. Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to iCliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

I have reviewed your case and it seems to be non-resolving dyspepsia (indigestion) and bloating. I suggest you follow the below-mentioned instructions.

  • Switch on acid suppression medicine to relatively better and new medication like capsule Dexlanzoprazole 30 mg a half hour before breakfast for two weeks.
  • Add regular antacids like syrup Gaviscon (sodium alginate) 10ml after every meal.
  • I agree with probiotics, but if still there is a change in the frequency and consistency of stools, Take Rifaxamin (colloidal silicon dioxide). It is a locally acting antibiotic on gut bad bacteria and is available in 200 mg or 550 mg doses. Take 550mg after breakfast and dinner for seven days.
  • Get your complete blood profile, thyroid evaluation, baseline liver function tests, stool routine examination, and H.pylori stool antigen as part of the evaluation of your symptoms.

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

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
