Gas and bloating are common digestive complaints that cause discomfort and a feeling of fullness in the abdomen. Dr. Sarang Mahanaik, an experienced gastroenterologist in Indore, offers expert diagnosis and effective treatment to relieve gas and bloating, helping patients restore digestive comfort and improve their quality of life.
Gas is a natural byproduct of digestion, but excessive gas or bloating can result from swallowing air, certain foods, or digestive disorders. Bloating occurs when the abdomen feels swollen or distended due to trapped gas or fluid. Causes include indigestion, food intolerances, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), constipation, or more serious gastrointestinal conditions.
Identifying the root cause is essential for effective treatment and symptom relief.
Common symptoms include:
Abdominal fullness or tightness
Visible swelling of the abdomen
Frequent belching or flatulence
Abdominal discomfort or pain
Sensation of pressure in the stomach
Possible causes include:
Overeating or eating gas-producing foods like beans, cabbage, and carbonated drinks
Food intolerances such as lactose intolerance
Digestive disorders including IBS and small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
Constipation and delayed gastric emptying
Stress and anxiety affecting digestion
Dr. Sarang Mahanaik conducts a detailed evaluation including medical history, physical examination, and necessary investigations to identify the cause of gas and bloating. Treatment strategies include:
Dietary modifications to avoid trigger foods and improve digestion
Medications such as antacids, simethicone, and probiotics to reduce gas and aid gut health
Management of underlying conditions like IBS or constipation
Lifestyle recommendations including regular exercise, hydration, and stress management
The treatment plan is customized to each patient’s needs to provide effective and lasting relief.
