Passing Gas, Smelling Bad, Suggested Acid Reducers. Possible Problem?
I have a problem with gas that seems to just leak out, I don't feel like anything escapes. I didn't realize this for a long time until people started saying things, mostly rude, about me smelling bad and wondering if I just passed gas. I've asked my regular doctor and she doesn't seem to have any answers, she just suggests acid reducers. What could be the problem?

Hello
Thanks for writing to HCM
Your gas problem is most likely due to irregular bowel habit and excess acid production.
You need few investigation like routine hemogram,ultrasound of abdomen,upper GI endoscopy.,
You should take plenty of fibres in diet in the form of salad etc.
You should do exercise and walking.
Initially,you may take laxatives for bowel clearance but it shouldn't be taken for long time.
You can take tablet pantoprazole 40 mg once daily before food for one month.
Get well soon.
Take Care
