What Causes Abdominal Pain And Gas After Having Meals?

My 74 year old mother has over the past couple of weeks experienced sharp gas pains after only eating one or two bites of a meal. This just happened again...the pain is so harsh at first that it brings her to tears and she can t sit down. She is in good health but does suffer from irregular bowel movements. What is a cause of such quick, intense gas pains?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear
I understand your concern
Symptoms could be due to esophagitis/acid reflux, stomach ulcer, indigestion.
Irregular bowel movement aggravate the gas problem
I would suggest to consult the gastroenterologist and undergo barium meal x ray, endoscopy if require, routine blood test to confirm the cause
Following treatment will help you:
Tablet gas x
Tablet panto prazole plus dompreridone before meal
Syrup mucaine before meal
Tablet dicyclomine
To regularize the bowel movement:
Soluble fiber supplements like senna
Drink plenty of water, take adequate fiber in diet
Do regular exercise like walking and medication
Other treatment will depend on the cause
Hope this may help you
