Gastric Complaints,bloating Sensation.Treatment?
Dear Dr, I live in Kerala, India and am 45+. I have always had a weak stomach. Very rarely do I experience normal bowel movement. But of late this abnormal functioning has started troubling me for sure. Gastric complaints, bloating sensation etc are common. The ideal form of stool passage is alien to me. Colour isn t redish / brownish but the shape is very rarely cylindrical / tubular. Most importantly, I dont empty my stomach in the very first go... and that works on my mind. I was an athlete till almost 34 when i got married. Over the last decade or so, the physical activities have come down but I somehow mange to keep myself in shape. Oh yes, couple of years back, when I was on tour and had a digestive problem, I took a tablet which worked wonders. Talking of shape, colour, the nature of ejection etc .... every thing was there. But somehow I forgot the name of that tablet. Could you please help me in suggesting the future course of action? Do I need serious medication ? By the way, my stomach was scanned for all vital organs and was found to be OK. A physician suggested that I might be suffering from Amebiasis. Will UniEnzymes help? Should I take them regularly? Look fwd to hearing from you soon ?

Thank you for posting your query.
Further evaluation needed.
since you have a chronic problem, better to visit a gastroenterologist.
meanwhile, advice you to:
- diet control, low fat and HIGH FIBER diet
- decrease SALT intake, to as minimum as you can and eat less spicy food.
- eat more fruits especially those rich in vitamin C (citrus fruits)
- eat oranges and pear
- do NOT eat stomach full in any meal and you may eat have 3 to 5 meals a day
- try to avoid drinking water at the end of a meal, drink warm water before meal
- NO beverages (cold drinks, commercial juices)
- chew food well whilst mouth should be closed.
- take 3 spoon of olive oil a day
- take :simethicone tablets after meal ( one tablet 2 to times a day)
hope the bowel movement would be normal.
any further questions are welcomed.
hope to answer your concern.
