How Can Excessive Bloating And Trapped Gas Be Treated With OTC Medication?
Hi, I am visiting United states for couple of weeks and I do not have insurance, so can t visit the doctor, but I have this huge problem of gas in my stomach, feeling like I can t breath and I can hardly bloat, unless I put fingers in throat, to imitate trowing out and then only the gas is gone. I tried Omeprazole, but it never helped. I do not eat any of those foods that can cause gas. any suggestions what medicine I can take to help me at least few weeks ?

Hello,
You can try newer drugs like sucralfate for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy.
Avoid spicy foods.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
