Have Excessive Gas. Taking Restoralax, Buscopan. Any Suggestion?
Hello - My mom is 94 years old in fairly good health. Her problem is everything she eats gives her gas. I have removed all milk products, anything with spice, small seeds etc. I have her on Restoralax 3 times a day, buscopan as her bowels won t start and then when they do spasms do not stop. She has been in great pain many times visits to the hospital so often I cannot remember they just let the pain pass and send us on. Her family Dr. has tried. We have to my knowledge had every test. No one wants to scope her because of her age which I understand. I am thinking that perhaps the medication Tecta may help. WE have tried other stomach meds help for short period but that s it. She spent all weekend in bed again due to the pain and again today. This happens about 4 times a month it rules her life and as well mine. If I can get her to burp a number of times and place heat to her tummy it subsides. We are both at our wits end. I don t what to do for her. She does have HBP which she is on meds for that is under control. If you have any suggestions that would be appreciated. Thank you. G. Thompson
