Are Digestive Enzyme Supplements Recommended For Gas Formation?
i am a 41 year old male. I have increased gas formation, usually after a meal. I keep getting a burning sensation in my lower chest and causes more discomfort if I lie down after a meal. My motion is not watery, but excretes very fast with lot of gas. I have been prescribed a combination drug of rabiprazole -20 mg+ domperidone-30mg and another of mebeverine hydrochloride-135 mg+chlorediazepoxide-5mg for 4 weeks. Is this good? Should I take any digestive enzyme supplements, if so please suggest which.

your suffering from irritable bowel syndrome,you don't need enzyme supplement.indications for this mentioned below.
It is used when the pancreas cannot make or does not release enough digestive enzymes into the gut to digest the food. Depending on the amount of enzymes in your product, it may be used for indigestion, as a supplement, or as replacement therapy (e.g., in chronic pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, cancer of the pancreas, after surgery on the pancreas or gut)
treatment:
you can take mebeverine+chlordiazepoxide.
along with that practise yoga and meditation.
avoid dairy products.
avoid fatty ,spicy food.
avoid alcohol,coffee and smoking
drink butter milk frequently.
tab.simethicone 80 mg twice in a day will help.
tab.rifaximine 200mg thrice in a day.
if symptoms not improved consult your doctor.
