Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Pain And Stomach Bloating

My husband, who is 78, ate some whole grains this morning (oat groats) and later on in the day had fresh grape juice. He doesn t have molars to chew the grain, and now his stomach is very bloated, hard and extremely painful. He also drove a few hours, sitting in one position but he can t get rid of the pain. Any ideas?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have abdominal pain and stomach bloating. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like appendicitis , consuming foods known to cause gas in some people, such as milk products that contain lactose, broccoli , crohn’s disease , gastroenteritis or irritable bowel syndrome . I would suggest you to avoid above mention food , eat more fibrous food , take antacid after every meal and drink warm water several times a day . If condition doesn't get well then consult Doctor may order certain test like stool test , endoscopy and ultrasound .
