What Is The Cause And Treatment For Bowel Blowouts?
Question: My husband has had a current history of bowel blowouts lately. For a couple of days he as been so tired he can't seem to hold his head up while sitting in a chair. He had a colonoscopy in 2011 and it came out ok. He doesn't eat a very healty diet and does not exercise. He is bloated. When he has gas, he can't burp or blow it out the rectum. This is not just today but always.
Brief Answer:
Get him clinically examined and investigated.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
Bowel blowouts can be due to excessive intake of fibre rich foods and oily foods.
After reading your post, I would like to advise that you should get him clinically examined and investigated.
Following investigations may be helpful :-
1. Stool examination.
2. Colonoscopy.
3. Endoscopy.
You can give him an antacid like Omeprazole 40mg once a day before meals along with Domperidone 30mg for relief from flatulence.
A probiotic along with digestive enzyme preparation containing pepsin and fungal diastase after meals will be helpful.
Further medical management can be planned after knowing the reports of the investigations.
He should eat light meals prepared under hygienic conditions.
His hydration should be maintained.
I hope this is helpful to you.
If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
