Hi doctor I have been suffering from gas bloating every night from last 1 year.
It is on the right side of abdomen and sometimes I feel something is there which makes me uneasy. My stomach also is upset and have constipation usually.
Please advise for the cure.

Hi,
I can understand your concern . If i see such a patient in my clinic , i would recommend him to take Proton Pump Inbitors(like Omeprazole) or H2 antagonist(like Ranitidine) alongwith antiflatulence agent containing Simethicon.You should try to avoid eating foods high in unabsorbable carbohydrates.Try taking six small meals a day , rather than three large ones.Doing excercise may help to improve the functioning of your digestive tract.For constipation ,try taking high fiber diet containing salads, fruits and vegetables and take lots of fluids.In case your symptoms persist , then you might evaluation in form of blood counts, liver function tests, stool analysis and Ultrasound abdomen . . Hope it helps
