Question : I have a severe stomach bloating problem from past 2 years. It is maximum while sitting, reduces a little bit while walking and completely gone when I am laying down. It increases in case of overeating or eating spicy foods and reduces if I eat boiled/steamed food and if in less quantity. I am taking medicines like Sompraz IT(Esomeoprazole) & Pankreoflat for several weeks but without relief. Apart from bloating I have severe mouth ulcers from past 3-4 years if I eat spicy or oily food. In my thinking both are different problems. Doctors never suggested Endoscopy inspite of my insistence because I dont have a problem of acidity/belching. No blood or loose stool or abnormal colour of stool. Bloating always persists whenever I am awake and sitting. Its never gone.
