Hi,

Thanks for writing in.

For bloated stomach I suggest to my patients Pantocid-L once daily for a month followed by plain pantocid for 2 months. In addition I also suggest Colospa (mebeverine) which they can use for couple of months for added benefits.
The aforementioned drugs are prescription drugs; therefore consult / discuss with your treating doctor. He/she can prescribe to you the same or alternative brands.

I also recommend dietary changes. Please restrict yourself to following items- Banana, XXXXXXX Rice, Curd, Black tea for at least 2 weeks.

Let me know the response to treatment after 1 month. Please also send me over any investigations that you have undergone for bloated stomach and I would be glad to review the reports for you.

Hope this helps.

Regards
Dr. Om Lakhani
