my mother is 93 years old in a personal care home. She has always suffered from serious indigestion and was diagnosed with a hyatial hernia, and the past 2 years has often suffered from bloating, serious gas pain with an uncontrollable, no notice bowel explosion. I am not sure where to take her now. Please advise. Thank you

Hi,

Most common cause for gas bloating is swallowing of air. Other possibilities like gastritis or irritable bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel problems or food Intolerance etc. Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use tablet Pantoprazole before breakfast for one week. Avoid gluten and lactose contain food. Use tablet Simethicone twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your gastroentrologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
