Hi,
You can start on a short course of Metrogyl (Flagyl) for five to seven days. Dietary modifications can also help control symptoms. Eat a balanced, nutritious diet rich in fibers. Eat smaller meals more frequently to avoid having too much food sitting in your stomach.
If symptoms are severe better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
