Suggest Medication For A Bad Bloating Problem

I have a really bad bloating problem and have recently gained a lot of weight from it. I started using probiotics and it is helping a little but i still bloat a lot. I noticed it happening a little after i finished my sport season in April. I dont know if there is any medicine i can take or what to do?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
First of all we have to find the reason for bloating which can be :
Aerophagia meaning swallowing the air inadvertently.
Infection of the intestinal tract by gas producing bacteria or disturbance of GI flora.
gas producing foods and beverages.
Anxiety and stress

Once the cause is found , it is easy to treat.
Avoid all foods and beverages causing gas,
antibiotic and metronidazole for 5 days and probiotic to be continued,
control of the stress and anxiety.
Activated charcoal, Pepcid
All can help to get a good control over your problems.
