Suggest Medication For IBS, Gas And Bloating

default
Posted on Fri, 19 Sep 2014
Question: I have had Irritable Bowl Syndrome for the past 20 years and am aware I have to pay attention to the foods I eat. Along with the IBS I have an extremely amount of gas and bloating. I have taken GasX and a number of other OTC solutions and have not had much luck. I periodically have constipation and use Miralax. I daily take Mylanta Extra Strength which has an anti-gas agent and that doesn't really help. Can you suggest any other OTC solutions or even a prescription type of medication which might help my condition.

Brief Answer:
Pancreatic enzymes to be added...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am sorry for the situation you are in.

At this point, I recommend to start pancreatic enzymes to improve digestion of foods, subsequently, you won't have bloating and gas.

You can find them as over th counter drugs. Can ask at your local pharmacy.

Hope it helped!
