salam.... i have been experiencing a constant bloating of my stomach for ages
now... have been to see the doctor but she suggested i simply monitor my diet as
it may be caused by allergies... so stopped eating nuts and pumpkin etc...as
when i ate these my throat would itch and i would get bloated.. but the problem
is that now i react to just about everything and i get bloated after after every
meal... my face has even broken out in dark patches which i think may be as a
result of my stomach problem.... my cousin gave me a medicine from south africa
called STAMMETTA... she says it may help do you think it will?... if not what
would you recommend? and do you think Bio-oil is safe to use for the face marks?
Salaam Member,
I am not familiar about STAMMETTA but any anti-flatulence could be tried and if
the symptoms persist you need an endoscopy preferably both upper and lower
gastrointestinal tract endoscopies.
If no polyps/tumour/inflammation is found at endoscopy,then your doctor just
need to adjust the suitable medications to treat what is called Irritable Bowel
syndrome.
Abdominal ultrasound should also be done to exclude gallstones.
