I Have Had Gas, Bloating And Abdominal Pain Every Morning
Question: I have had gas, bloating and abdominal pain every morning for a couple weeks now. Sometimes it only lasts a few minutes and other days its hours. I tried eliminating foods I thought might be bothering me, eating my dinner earlier in the evening, and fasting for a few days to try and stop it. Nothing has worked, and it seems like it might be getting worse. What could be causing this and what can I do?
Brief Answer:
Functional bowel problem or peptic ulcer most likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to the 'Ask A Doctor service'.
I have read your concern and two diagnosis peptic ulcer and functional bowel problem seems most likely.
You can take pantoprazole or rabeprazole like antacid for one week.
I suggest you take gelusil MPS or alcid MPS like antacid and simethicone containing syrup before sleep at night.
The simethicone will help in dissolving bubbles.
Don't take gastric irritants like excess spicy foods, excess tea, coffee etc.
Drink lots of water.
Avoid sedentary life style.
Don't take gas forming foods like cabbage, turnip, onion etc.
USG abdomen scan should be done for primary work up.
If no improvement and USG scan normal than endoscopy can be planned for further work up.
I hope all these description solves your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards
