Thread: Indigestion

I often get really bad indigestion. My stomach gets really bloated and it feels like the contents of my stomach wants to exit via my mouth. I believe this is a result of my stomach being intolerant to grains/starch/gluten.

If I just stick to meat & veges, I'm ok, but I occasionally want to eat bread and pasta.

Is there anything that can be done to remove these symptoms? Coke (the drink) sometimes helps, but it can be a bit embarrassing burping in public. Anti-acid tablets make the problem worse, as I need to digest the food, not prevent its digestion.

Otherwise, is there a sure-fire way to make yourself puke? I tried the old fingers down the throat routine that seems popular with certain princesses, but I just retch a few times.

it's cause you are a fat bastard

Me too...find a good antacid...

Simply put, go to Chemist ask for Omneprazole or Losec.Take one a day for a couple of days.They are a bloody wonder drug.

I had you problem and used to put up with it,that's untill I started bleeding from the gut.

After a few years mulling it over, I bought some of these tablets today (Dosate 20mg Omeprazole) and I drop a tab just before having a sarnie this evening. I could feel it do it's thing, but I think it's been overpowered by my stomach and my stomach burn is just as bad as ever.

I'm a bit reluctant to take another one.

it takes several weeks of taking the meds to see results.

I used to have every symptom you have. A few years ago I went in a Thai drugstore and got Miracid. I started taking it and have done so the past few years. No more bloat, no more acid burn, and no more feeling like I was going to vomit.

I used to have the same problem when I was in UK.
It was stress through work that caused it.


The only remedy that worked for me was tablets that reduce the acid production in the stomach. Two tabs everyday and I was fine.

They are available everywhere in Thailand.
I can look the name up if you want

^Proton pump inhibitors reduces the stomachs production of acid.

.

A lot of people seem to suffer from this now a days, but all with different symptoms and different intolerances.
You may have acid reflux which needs to be treated with a perscribed drug as over the counter drugs can make it worse.
Hope you get it sorted as i know people who have it and how uncomfortable it can be

I don't think it's stress related.

I know what you're saying, and I have been to see a stomach specialist at Bumrungrad Hospital. He's a Thai....

I used to eat more antacid pills than food at one stage until a friend told me about Omeprazole. Instant fix. Best value ones I've found are called Stomec.

It's all that starchy, pricey farang food and the copious amounts of 'real' ale, Marmite.

A rice, veges and insects diet is the answer.

Yep, proton pump inhibitor. Ms. B has the same problem and these drugs work for her. In her case, she has to remember to take one before a troublesome meal. If taken after the symptoms appear they don't work as well for her.

She's now taking Omeprazole, brand name Miracid, 20 mg.

I'm now taking Chang: 330 ml. X 6.

The other day i met someone who told me that the Asian are slim due to their good nutrition, one of the proper thing they do is eating fruits after the meal...

A few days later i meet my sister in law who tells me her nutritioner back in Europe advised her not to eat fruits after lunch as whatever you eat last sets the timing for the digestion, so meat takes 2 hours, the fruits over this only 20 minutes !

As older we go, as more conscious about what we mix in our nutrition, we should be, this to let correct reactions in our body system take place...


Welcome to the world of the semi old Marmite !

Marmite, I drink peppermint tea. Very calming, too. Antacids never worked for me and just made me sicker. If you need to throw up, try brushing the back of your tongue with toothpaste. Makes me chuck everytime.

ok so if you have an intolerance to wheat etc usually the symptoms are bloating indigestion diarreah.
Acid reflux bloating heartburn and indigestion feeling sick
For Acid reflux you need a gastro resistant tablet a really good one is Protium.
Did you have a pipe down your throat at the hospital or what did they say you had

Drink less beer!

A good PPI is Prevacid.

I hate it when you look up one thing and find something else...

Helicobater Pylori

The tabs I used to take were Cimetidine which worked well for me.

A quick google has told me that they have now been replaced by proton pump inhibitors so go with what Elsie said.

I first had the symptoms in India about 7 years ago.

Easily managed with antibiotics these days. But, if the PPI's do it for you then you probably don't have a bacterial infection.

I booked in to have a pipe up my arse, but didn't go back.

Anyway, I will start on a natural remedy to try and sure this, and I'll let you know how it goes.

Slight threadjack sorry... I don't suffer indigestion but I do find sometimes that if I've eaten a lot of bread I get the shakes for some reason.

It can be, but it's certainly due to the carbs fucking up your sugar levels. I get the same sometimes. I only tend to eat bread when I'm pissed, so only a couple of times a week.
