Hello doctor, I have stomach problem for four to five years. I do not know what it is. But, it is there all the time and I get pain when I eat something. Nowadays, I am not getting to control my stomach problem. Another thing is that when I eat something, I just get pressure on my stomach. I am not able to sit for long on my office seat. What should I do?
Hello. Where is the stomach problem? I mean which area of the abdomen your feel pain? Are you burping frequently? How many times in a day are you passing stools? Is there any mucus in the stools? Probably, you are suffering from an IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). Other possibilities like chronic gastritis and peptic ulcer disease, lactose intolerance, celiac sprue, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's disease can also be included. So avoid spicy food and dairy products, avoid processed foods, avoid coffee and alcohol and have a regular exercise. I suggest you use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for two weeks, tablet Normaxin (Clidinium Chlordiazepoxide, and Dicyclomine) twice a day for five days, tablet Rifaximin 200 mg thrice a day for five days, and tablet Simethicone 80 mg twice a day for five days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and with their consent take the medicines. If still, symptoms persist then you may need an ultrasound of the abdomen, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, stool examination and a doctor consultation. Follow up after five days.
