Question : Hi. Its little odd question. I have developed a habit of going more number of times to lavatory. Daily almost I go 4 times , all during morning & evening when ever I am at home.Also at times if I don't go, I feel a heavy stomach & uneasiness. Also I develop tendency of gas which leads at times to burps or fart. This situation is embarrassing.

Brief Answer:
Avoid junk food

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for query.
I understand your concern. I would suggest you to drink plenty of water every day.
You can take Tab GAS-NIL or Tab ZEROGAS with food which will reduce bloating of abdomen,burping,discomfort etc. Avoid eating junk food,uncooked food like salads.
If these do not help you should get a stool microscopy, blood counts and if required Endoscopy done by a Gastroenterologist.
Kindly get back to me if any queries

Thanks Doctor.
Normally I drink 6 liter of water daily, 2-3 cups of tea. Normally I avoid junk food. However , I eat fruits at least one per day . Do I need to stop that ? I normally get gas after dinner.

I have done stool microscopy 4 months a go & noting unusual was observed. I forgot to mention that I also have issue of Piles . My worry is not gas but frequency of going to the lavatory.Do I need any medication for the same

Brief Answer:
Tab providac

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for follow up query.
Get a stool test along with blood counts now.
You need to consult a general surgeon for Hemorrhoids(piles). You can apply XYLOCAINE cream for local application, If you have painful defecation.I recommend you to take Tab Providac once daily for 10 days after food & SYP GAVISCON 10ml twice daily after food .You can have fruits as usual, But avoid citrus fruits temporarily.

Kindly get back to me if any queries.
