Suffering From Acute Bloating And Gas, Have Enlarged Flanks. All Medical Test Normal. Any Treatment?
I hope my question will be kept private/anonymous.
Thank you
Thank you for the query.
Masturbation is quite normal behavior especially for males, and for sure it has nothing to do with intestines so don`t treat it as something wrong or destructive.
Bloating can be caused by wrong diet, lack of physical activity, IBS, severe intestines infection. Sometimes it can be also a symptom of colon cancer however not at your age. Stress can also have such impact for intestines.
I suggest you to have fecal occult blood test performed and stool tests for parasites.
You should avoid fatty foods, soft drinks, coffee. Increase fiber XXXXXXX products and mineral water intake. You can also ask your doctor about Rifaximine treatment. This antibiotics gives many positives reactions and can cure such non-specific symptoms. You should also increase physical activity.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
counting on your prompt response
Unfortunately Rifaximine is on prescription and there is no way I can help you with it. However, as you are from USA, there is way you can purchase it from online pharmacies which do offer it without prescription. It is called Xifaxan. You should take 400 mg 3x1 during 7 days.
Hope this will help.

Yes exactly, 400 mg 3 times a day for 7 days.
