Suggest Treatment For Upset Stomach, Gas And Diarrhea

My father has digestive problems, which he has had since he was a boy. He insists it s food allergies but doctors disagree. He does have diagnosed food allergies to shell fish. He cannot eat. He gets upset stomach, gas, diarrhea, and general pain. He can t really eat. His present doctors are not sending him elsewhere (gp and cardiologist). Who should he see? Thank you very much. YYYY@YYYY

Hi,

Your father seems to be suffering from dyspepsia and chronic gastric irritation leading to stomach upset, dull pain. Also he might be having Irritable bowel syndrome. This also presents with all the symptoms you had mentioned. The following are recommended for the alleviation of symptoms:
1)Tab. Rabeprazole twice daily before food
2) Fresh fruits and vegetables without spicy food
3) Avoid milk and milk products
4) Any antacid if gastritis pain is more
5) Tab loperamide for diarrhea
6) He needs to be stress free and have a healthy lifestyle
7) Smoking and alcohol are to be quit
You can meet a gastroenterologist in this regard and have his advise.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
