Suggest Treatment For Stomach Bloating And Acidity
My age : 40. I have been suffering from the below mentioned problem for the last 20 years or so.
My stomach is inflated with gas. The painful part is that the gas remains trapped under the rib and there is no passage of gas throough anus. In normal condition, the gas movement is through anus. I keep tossing on bed from one side to another until after few hours the gas starts moving out in form of fart. Until then I remain unconfortable and sleepless. Please note that I have no acidity ( I am assuming that acidity's symptom is burning senation under chest or sour liquid coming out of mouth which is not the case with me). Please suggest.
