Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain And Stomach Bloating

My husband, who is 78, ate some whole grains this morning (oat groats) and later on in the day had fresh grape juice. He doesn t have molars to chew the grain, and now his stomach is very bloated, hard and extremely painful. He also drove a few hours, sitting in one position but he can t get rid of the pain. Any ideas?

Hi Dear,
