Suggest Medication For Severe Stomach Pain After Having Red Beans

Hello doc, we had red beans for lunch today and around 8 in the evening my wife is having severe stomach pain. She used to have some pain when eating beans but this time the pain is severe. I went to the pharmacie and they gave me intetrix. She took two pills but i am not sure if the prescribed medicine is for what she is having as pain. Please tell me if the intetrix is good and if not what other medicine should she take

Hello dear user!
Welcome to HCM, thank you for sharing your concerns with us!

I understand your concerns you are describing.
Intetrix is not a reasonable medication in your case. It is a drug that is used to treat amebiasis and it is not used without having a result of your stool analysis that confirms that infection.
In my opinion you don't have to use it!

It seems you have a gastric or intestine intolerance of red beans.
An inflammation of your gastric mucosa must be taken into consideration too.

To manage this situation I would recommend you:

- Mezym F, or Simethicone tablets to reduce gas production.
- Ranitidine twice daily to reduce gastric acid, and improve the gastric function.
- Avoid, fats, spicy foods, salty foods, and this kind of beans since you know they make you feel bad.

Take care and i wish you a good health!
DR ERIOL.
