What Causes Excessive Abdominal Gas And Burping?
Hello, I was treated for acute Diverticulitis with Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole. I have been off the antibiotics for 2 weeks now, have no pain or fever. However, when I eat I become gassy with burping and farting, and lost of appetite as food doesn t seem to taste very good. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi,
Some persons experience symptoms of abdominal gas and burping after taking a course of antibiotics. Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Take Tab. Pantoprazole.
2. Take B-complex with zinc capsules.
3. Take probiotic preparations.
4. Take clear liquid diet along with low fiber diet for two weeks.
Gradually, you should be able to overcome the symptoms and be back to normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
