What Causes Excessive Stomach Bloating After Taking Nexium?

Good evening. I am on a gastro guard Nexium which I feel has caused excessive bloating of my stomach as well as flatulence and discomfort. Would this be a side effect and is there a different gastro guard I can get to expedite these current unpleasant symptoms

Hi,

You have problem of bloated stomach that may be because of lack of water and fiber in diet. Intestinal infection also cause gas problem. Lactose intolerant may cause more gas problem after taking dairy product.

Less physical activity may cause this problem. Too fast eating and more fatty foods cause this type of symptoms.

Consent a gastroenterologist for diagnosis. Abdominal ultra sonography is helpful for further diagnosis.

Avoid gaseous foods like cabbage, cauliflower, carbonated drinks etc.... Drink more water. Use garlic and ginger in food for proper digestion.

Lemon water and Tulsi leaves good for health.

Fruits like kiwi, peach, avocado and green vegetables helpful.

Do some physical activity and exercise more than 20 minutes.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein,
General Surgeon
