Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been experiencing frequent bloating and acidity, and I have heard about the role of gut microbiota and probiotics in digestion. As a woman in my 40s, I am curious about how these might be affecting my digestive health. Can you explain the connection between gut microbiota, probiotics, and digestive issues? Considering my symptoms and age, should I consider incorporating probiotics into my diet? Are there specific dietary changes or supplements you would recommend to improve my digestive health and alleviate these symptoms? I want to understand how to better care for my gut and manage these issues. Your suggestions on maintaining a healthy digestive system would be highly valuable doctor. Kindly suggest.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Alterations in gut microbiota can cause infection and affect our digestive system. It can cause symptoms like diarrhea and vomiting. Probiotics are used to treat such minor infections and they increase our digestive system productivity. Acidity and bloating can be due to various reasons such as stress, poor lifestyle, and spicy food. You should also avoid dairy products if you are lactose intolerant. I would also suggest you make some lifestyle modifications like involving in physical exercise or yoga. In addition, you can take the tablet Pantoprazole 40 mg once a day before breakfast for five days.
I hope this will help you.
Thank you.
