Brief Answer:
Take PPI

Detailed Answer:
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
See, such bloating and gas problem occurs mostly due to drugs like Ecospirin, Glycomet.
Dulcolac that you are taking for constipation also causes bloating sensations.
I would advise you following:
1. To take a combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone.
2. To take sugar free anti dyspesia and anti flatulent syrup like Digene on as or when required basis.
3. To take soft, bland diet.
4. Avoid Dulcolac if you don't have any constipation.
I hope it helps.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
