Suggest Treatment For Severe Bloating, Pain From Under Ribs To Shoulders
Question: Have had episodes on & off for years, now its starting again.
what can I do for relief from severe bloating? It was so painful yesterday from my stomach, UNDER MY RIBS
& TO MY SHOULDER. I take probiotics daily, yesterday I also took omeprazole 40 mg & Pepto-Bismol with
n0 relief. I can't tie this to any food I've eaten. I eat clean 95% of the time; lots of vegetables, fruits, fish,
seafood, chicken & very little red meat. The pain is really severe, my clothes add to the misery & I can't
concentrate on anything else.

Brief Answer:
please follow,,,,
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I read carefully all your concerns and medical history and I can say as follow:
1. You are reporting to be diagnosed with MS ( multiple sclerosis )and it afect the bowel and gallbladder movement causing bloating, change in bowel movement, pain)
2. Another cause of your bloating may be gallbladder and pancreatic.
So if I were your treating doctor I would recommend doing :
-abdominal ultrasound
- Blood work
- Pancreatic enzymes like lipase, amylase
to rule out or confirm pancreatic/gallbladder issues.
Mean time I suggest as follow:
- eat often and small amount of meal
- avoid swallowing air during meal
- avoid broccoli, bath etc
- avoid unnecessary stress.
- use simethicone
- continue using probiotics and omeprazole
Please discuss with your doctor to start digestive enzymes like Creon to increase food digestion and improve bloating.
wish you all the best
