Suggest Treatment For Terrible Gas, Acid Reflux And Abdominal Distension

Dietary modification may help
Detailed Answer:
Hello
My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.
I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Doctors are reluctant to perform surgery because you are high risk patient. You already had two surgeries including one major surgery. In such cases of more surgeries are performed then chances of table death increases considerably.
1) for acid/gas reflux:
I would suggest you to get an appointment for a gasntroenterologist as he is specialized in treating these conditions. Also you would be requiring some medicines which are prescription only meds and you can get easily by visiting him. If i were your treating doctor then i would have advised following things:
> Medical Care:
- Omeprazole one daily for 14 days
- sucralfate suspension thrice a day for 10 days
> General Care:
Medical care can do NOTHING if you don't take general care about your health. Following steps would help you to recover slowly:
- take small frequent meals.
- take 30-45mins walk/exercise daily in the evening. It will make you fresh, healthy and is good for digestion.
- Don't lie down immediately after taking meal
- raise head end of your bed slightly(by an inch)
- Eat a diet rich in fiber, especially from fruits and vegetables
> AVOID:
fatty & oily food.
spices
heavy meals at night
carbonated & caffeine drinks
chocolates
2) About abdomen:
As told already, if it is not causing any trouble then you can try to manage it by dietary modification and exercise. Avoid fatty/oily products including fast food. An appointment with a dietitian/nutritionist will help you a lot in this case. One thing that you should remember is that its a slow and gradual process. You need to be persistent.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
Wishing you good health !!
