I Have Gas And Constipation Problem
Please see the detailed answer below...
Detailed Answer:
Hello there,
Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service...
For acidity and gas, you should take a few precautions as well as taking PPI/antacid for a few days to observe how it stays. Medicine combinations like PANTOPRAZOLE/DOMPERIDONE (40/30)mg once daily on an empty stomach (before breakfast) can be tried for about a week.
-If you take too many caffeine/caffeinated energy drinks/soda pops, please avoid as they are quite notorious for causing this, please stop them altogether...avoid caffeine at least for the time being, and observe how you stay afterward...
-Have simple home-made foods, toasts, organic preparations, home-made vegetable soups, salads; avoid fast/processed foods, avoid refined sugar/sugary products.
-Drink plenty of water throughout the day (only proper R.O or mineral water, no outside water strictly)...
-Avoid smoking/alcohol also (if at all do), they're another known to factors which can further aggravate this condition...
All these are applicable for constipation relief as well...In addition, take plenty of high fiber, multigrain products in your daily diets...
If despite following these, symptoms persist, I'd suggest you get yourself checked up by a Gastroenterologist for a thorough clinical evaluation...there may be some further investigations required based on these findings...
Wish you good health...
