Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have had a gassy tummy for three days and it pains even after pooping. Two years back also my stomach had got heavy and gassy. What should I do?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query. If you have a gassy tummy and is painful even after pooping, I suggest you to follow a few instructions like change your diet: certain foods can cause gas and bloating. So it is important to avoid these foods as much as possible. Foods like beans, broccoli, cabbage, onions, and dairy products can cause gas. Instead, try eating a low-fiber diet for a few days, and gradually reintroduce high-fiber foods, drinking plenty of water can help keep your digestive system functioning properly and prevent constipation, which can cause gas and bloating, Exercise can help stimulate your digestive system and relieve gas and bloating. Try taking a short walk after a meal or doing some light yoga. I suggest you take over-the-counter medications: Antacids or gas relief medications like Simethicone can help relieve gas and bloating. Stress can also contribute to digestive issues. So it is important to rest and relax as much as possible. Try taking a warm bath, meditating, or doing some deep breathing exercises. Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take medications with their consent. I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
