What Is The Treatment For Bowel Discomfort And Excessive Burping?
Hello,
I am showing the following symptoms: flushed face, head-ache, tiredness. I also often have bowel discomfort, excessive burping, obstructed gas in my stomach. Other abnormal and uncomfortable symptoms are pain in my back on each side of the rib cage, seemingly above average mucus production in the throat. My diet is quite "balanced," I sleep regularly (8 hours on average). The air pollution (Lausanne, Switzerland) where I live is not enormous. I was wondering if you could shed some light on the possible causes and remedies for these symptoms. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you very much.

Hi
Your problem is called dyspepsia.Dyspepsia can be defined as a postprandial discomfort or upper abdominal pain. It can also be called indigestion.Postprandial heaviness, fullness, bloating,sensation of incomplete digestion (as if food stayed in the stomach for several hours) is a common complaint encountered by patients suffering from Dyspepsia.
Most likely your dyspepsia is related to hypermotility hence Dyspepsia related to motility syndromes may be treated by prokinetic drugs such as domperidone along with proton pump inhibitors.
Start taking a probiotic twice daily,Probiotics contains lactobacillus. These bacteria's help in proper digestion of food and will help to revive your depleted gastric flora.
Drink plenty of fluids
A course of ofloxacin and tinidazole should be taken for 5 days.
Report after 2 weeks.
