I'm taking Hepamerz tablets to help with my digestion, but I've been feeling bloated and uncomfortable in my stomach ever since. Do you have any suggestions for a different medication that might work better for me?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Its possible that Hepamerz is causing the bloating and discomfort. You might want to try digestive aids like Dysflatyl or Spasmocanulase, which can help with bloating. However, it's a good idea to consult your doctor to ensure it's the right choice for you.

View allMy friend had an endoscopy last week and they found a small hiatal hernia with some LAK lesions. They've been dealing with gastric issues for 3 years now antacids haven't helped at all. Is this something that can improve with meditation or lifestyle changes, or is surgery the only option? How serious is this condition?
A small hiatal hernia, especially with some LAK lesions (likely meaning low-grade acute inflammation), may be managed with lifestyle changes and medication, and surgery isn't always the first option. While antacids might not have been effective, other treatments like H2 blockers or proton pump inhibitors could be helpful. Meditation and lifestyle adjustments, such as weight management, can also help manage symptoms.

I've been experiencing some trouble after meals, like having dosa or just a simple meal. My stomach doesn't seem to digest it well, and my belly becomes really hard and heavy. It's making it difficult for me to focus on work, and I get really restless to the point where I just want to close my eyes and sleep. Sometimes it feels like the gas from my stomach is reaching my head. Ive started taking Liv 52 tablets, but I'm not seeing any improvement. I drink 3 liters of water daily, eat chappati and veggies, and even walk about a kilometer after meals, but the problems still there. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
You're experiencing persistent digestive discomfort, bloating, and fatigue despite a relatively healthy diet and lifestyle, and considering your symptoms, it's possible that you may have underlying issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), slow digestion, or gut sensitivity, so consider consulting a gastroenterologist for personalized guidance and potential testing, and in the meantime, you may want to try additional strategies like eating smaller, more frequent meals, incorporating digestive-friendly foods like ginger, yogurt, and fermented vegetables, and stress-reducing techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga to help alleviate your symptoms.
