Suggest Treatment For Symptoms Of IBS

Posted on Tue, 14 Jun 2016

Question: Hi, I have had a diagnosis of IBS since I was 20 and am 54 now. I take Miralax everyday and that helps a lot. 3 weeks ago I began having a problem of not being able to burp after I eat. I'm also nauseous while not being able to belch. I painic and start stretching and jumping (I know this sounds ridiculous) and it helps. I'm concerned because it's a new symptom/problem and I'm wondering if it's age related or something else?

Hi need not worry

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thank you for your query
I understand your concern
Well inability to burp is not a concern usually
Only if you have vomiting loss of appetite difficulty in swallowing or weight loss it needs to be evaluated at earliest preferably by an endoscopy
Can try following things and see how you feel
Take an antacid like pantoprazole 40mgonce a day and Domperidone 10mg thrice a day if available over the counter for 2weeks
Avoid sleeping two hours after meals
Go for regular brisk walk Or jog
Avoid coffee aerated drinks
Drink lots of water
Avoid stress
Ensure adequate sleep at least for 8 hours
All this will help you in long run
Wish you a speedy recovery
Happy to help
