Suggest Remedy For Recurring Bloating, Gurgling Stomach With Foul Smelling Gas

Hi...I am 44 yrs old, 5 3 and 124lbs I keep having on and off bloating, lower intestinal gurgling and at times very foul smelling gas. Some pain in lower abdominal area but it comes and goes and is not severe enough for meds. I get concerned that this could be overian cancer, but I have not had any abnormal bleeding or stomach sickness. This has been going on nealy a year. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic

This stomach gurgling movements with recurrent bloating with foul smelling gas could be Irritable Bowel syndrome or acute gastritis some worm infestations.

You should go for complete hemogram,ESR, blood electrolytes,stool analysis and abdominal ultrasound to detect the exact underlying cause.

Here,it does not seem to be related to ovarian cancer,so there is nothing to be bothered about cancer.

However,its management relies on diet and lifestyle modifications along with certain medications.

1) Diet and Lifestyle Modifications like avoiding Pulses and Beans, food with high amounts of refined sugars will help.

2) Good stress managment, Yoga and Acupuncture have all been used to help manage the symptoms of IBS.

3) Take antacids like pantoprazole 40 mg twice daily.

4) Take digestive engymes or syrup aristozyme daily 1 tsf to have good digestion.

5) Take antibiotics and antihelminthic under your doctor's guidance.

You might require h.pylori test with upper GI endoscopy if the symptoms remains persistent.

Consult gastroenterologist for further advice.
