Hi guys,
I'm a 27 year old male.
The last 6 months my symptoms have got worse and worse.
I started noticing feeling bloated but now I suffer from nausea, constapation, very loud guggling noises and a sore feeling stomach.
I can handle all of it apart from the loud noises which are incredibly embarassing in a very quiet office. I feel incredibly stressed and have stopped enjoying work because of it.
I've not been to a doctor yet but will have to asap as it seems to be getting worse.
I was hoping for something you can buy from the counter, any ideas?
Any advice appreciated.
Cheers
Tim
There are medications that can help, although your Doctor needs to see you and under the situation you find yourself in is better looked into by the Surgery
To get you through for a few days until your appointment the Chemist may be able to help in the short term

Hi Tim: I don't think anyone here would recommend an OTC medication without knowing what the problem may be You menioned sore stomach, nausea, etc. There could be a nasty bacteria living in your stomach that is causing problems. I suggest you not take OTC meds. until you see a gastroenterologist. I'm sorry you are so stressed because the more you stress, the worse you may feel. Questions: are you belching more than usual? Do you experience discomfort below your navel?
You could try eating more fibre for the constipation such as oranges, grapes and drinking prune juice. But definitely book an appointment with your doctor for tests and diagnosis.
Tim,
your symptoms sound just like mine. I have inflamed stomach lining (gastritis). It was caused by H plori bug. It lives in the lining of stomach and can cause cancer. Easily treat but can recur, which is where I am now. I'm been tested again for it, although I got rid of it year ago now. The test for it is easy, either breath test or stool sample.
