Hi, My Name Is Cherish. I Have A Hard Time
Question: Hi, my name is cherish. I have a hard time with my bowel movements. I think I have irritable bowel syndrome. I remember going to the doctor when I was little and I think they said I had too much poop in my intestines. I am also an extremely moody girl. Just the slightest comment will piss me the fuck off and I have a hard time holding back from punching someone over something so small. Another issue I have is I was diagnosed with gerd and given pills then those pills messed me up and ever since I've had issues with burping like I have to sit up to burp I can't be laying down. It's almost like I am drunk but I'm not ya know? I absolutely CAN NOT drink beer like literally two sips makes me throw up violently. I was little when they diagnosed me with that so I wasn't completely honest with all my answers to the lady. Anyway, the main reason why I'm doing this is maybe you can help recommend to me a good medicine to help flatten my stomach that won't mess with my hormones or my gases and poop and all that jazz. I'm not fat just been gaining a little more weight than usual like it's noticable now and like i think I could also maybe just be me getting bloated. I eat a lot of dairy and pizza so I don't have the best diet right now. I'm going to be changing that though. My phone recently broke so I have to go to cricket tomorrow not today cuz I got other plans but ye so the phone number I put there's no point in calling it just email me thank you :)
Brief Answer:
Please go through detailed answer dear.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you dear for choosing "Ask a Doctor" service for your query,
Have seen your details and I appreciate your concerns.
Firstly Irritable bowel syndrome is a diagnosis of exclusion which means that when patient has symptoms despite of all possible testing related to g.i system(normal) patient is labelled as having IBS.
In short to diagnose IBS tests like colonoscopy,Fecal calprotectin etc has to be normal.
I think your main query is regarding gas and excess acid formation in your stomach.
See one of the main cause of this problem can be a hyper stimulated nervous system. Hyper stimulated nerves can cause excessive secretion of acid in gut causing problem.This also interferes with normal mobility of gut leading to stagnation of food hence forming gases.
Ex
Prizolec tablet twice daily
VSL#3 capsule twice daily(to improve gut Flora hence assist digestion)
Activated charcoal tablets three to four times a day to absorb gas.
Lactium supplement for mood.
All are over the counter.
If you are taking beer then take extra tablet of Prizolec 30 minutes before it.
Try to eat clean atleast 60% of times.
Follow ups are welcome.
Hope I was helpful.
Thank you!
