Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of constant problems with stomach, have medication for dyspepsia, still the stomach feels full. Feeling like a gaping hole or depressed and squishy.
The commonest problems of this nature should be tackled as follows:
- Clinical evaluation and examination by a Doctor and preferably by a Gastroenterologist.
- Investigations of stool, blood and urine.
Ultrasonography to rule out gall bladder stones.
X-ray of the abdomen in standing position.
Therapeutic trial with a course of an antibiotic, metronidazole. Long term course of probiotic and multivitamins.
Avoid all the foods and beverages that cause these problems.
Control of stress and/or anxiety can help you a lot.
