Question 1

I've been on RabletD for about 20 years now to manage really bad burning acidity after meals. I know it's Rabeprazole and Domperidone, but I'm still having this bloating issue. Could it be that I have a wheat allergy that's causing the bloating? What should I do about this?

Accepted Answer

Given your symptoms, here are some steps you can take:

*Medication*

1. *Antacids*: Try over-the-counter antacids like Tums, Rolaids, or Mylanta to help alleviate symptoms.

*Tests*

1. *Upper GI Endoscopy*: Your doctor may recommend this test to visualize your stomach and small intestine.
2. *Blood Tests*: Your doctor may order blood tests to check for inflammation or infection.

*Lifestyle Changes*

1. *Food Diary*: Keep a food diary to track your eating habits and identify potential triggers.
2. *Hydration*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
3. *Dietary Changes*: Avoid spicy, fatty, or acidic foods that may irritate your stomach.

*When to Seek Medical Attention*

1. *Severe Abdominal Pain*: If your pain worsens or becomes severe.
2. *Vomiting Blood*: If you vomit blood or black tarry stools.
3. *Fever*: If you have a fever above 101.5F (38.6C).
4. *Difficulty Breathing*: If you experience difficulty breathing or severe dizziness.

Question 2

I'm having a bit of trouble with my breathing every evening; it feels like some sort of shortness of breath. I suspect it might be linked to acid reflux because when I manage to get rid of some gas, my breathing seems to return to normal. The feeling's pretty uncomfortable when the gas is there, and I'm starting to worry if there might be a lung issue going on. Could this be something related to my lungs, or is it really just about the reflux? Any guidance would be really appreciated.

Question 3

I'm feeling really tired and weak after I have a bowel movement, like my whole body is worn out and my knees hurt. It usually gets better once I eat something. Should I be worried about this, or is there something I'm missing in my diet or routine?

Accepted Answer

Your symptoms of weakness, hunger, fatigue, and knee joint pain after bowel movements could be related to various factors, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastrointestinal infection, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or nutrient deficiencies; consider consulting a gastroenterologist for a thorough evaluation, and in the meantime, try to maintain a food diary to track your symptoms, eat smaller, frequent meals, and stay hydrated to help manage your symptom
