Hi,
Thank you for posting query,
Firstly, you may have the following examination:
"Hydrogen Breath Test" to rule out bacterial overgrowth in the intestine
and
"Urea Breath Test" to rule out H.pylori infection.
Further advice:
- OTC Simethicone tablets and probiotics may be used in combination to combat bloating.
- Itopride medication may be used to enhance gastric motility(you may need a prescription from your local physician for this).
- Have small meals at regular intervals and add plain of yogurt to your meals.
- Avoid eating broccoli, brussels sprouts, and cabbage, Baked beans. Avoid all kind of beverages and junk food
- Chew food well and try not to talk while chewing food as it causes more air to enters the stomach and may lead to bloating.
