Question

Hello, for the last 4 days I have had a big stomach ache on and off. I am really bloated. I am able to wander around doing my thing. In general. Except for a few minutes when it takes me. My bowel movements are normal, my diet has not changed lately. it is throughout the day and not necessarily worse or better after a meal

Hello, is it all day long or at particular times? Is it associated with meals? Thanks for the information! In order to properly address this problem, I believe that we should try to find a possible cause. What I suggest for the next 4 to 6 weeks is to keep a diary where you will write down everything you consume as well as the quantities, but also the activities you undertake, and your state of mind (fatigue, stress, etc.). In the second column you could write down the occurrence and extent of the symptoms. We could then identify some possible causes. This may take several weeks so I suggest being diligent. If no cause can be suggested, I suggest consulting a physician to get a thorough evaluation of the situation. I hope I have been helpful and remain available if you have any further questions! Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
