What Causes Bloating Of Stomach And Gastritis Despite Taking Probiotic?
I have a bloated stomach and gas that I have been experiencing for the last month or so. Tuesday I threw up twice which I thought would take care of the situation. It has come back. I am taking a probiotic since I was assuming the good bacteria in my intestines was wiped out causing this condition. I am 52 in relatively good health, 5 10 and weigh 180lbs. I am wondering if this might be a serious condition or if it will work its way out by itself. YYYY@YYYY

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of bloating of stomach and gastritis despite taking Probiotic which could be due to viral or bacterial infection, acid reflux or peptic ulcer disease. It could be due to infection by H. Pylori bacteria. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take antacid medicines like ranitidine or pantoprazole. You should take proton pump inhibitors such as ondansetron. You should take oral rehydrating solution. You should exercise daily and avoid intake of outside food. Visit gastroenterologist once and get it examined. Start treatment after proper examination. You should have lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. you should take plenty of fluids. Avoid intake of oily, fried and spicy food. Drink plenty of water. Avoid intake of large food at a time. You should take small meals and frequent meals.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
