Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX Hi
Welcome back.
Thanks for your kind information.
As far as your gas problem is concerned I would advise you to take a proton pump inhibitor like Pantoprazole once daily for 2 weeks. Avoid taking alcohol (if you consume it), hot & spicy foods, eat home cooked food, increase the intake of fruits and vegetables, avoid gas producing food stuff like daals (pulses), dry fruits, & legumes.
Regarding the lab test which show slightly raised ESR, RBCs & Packed cell volume I would advise you to repeat the test after one week, if they are found to be elevated along with high Hemoglobin kindly consult a physician for further evaluation.
Hope this answers your query.
Wishing you best of your health.
