Question 1

Hi Doctor, Ive been seeing a general physician who prescribed Flatuna, Gasinox, and Uni Enzyme, but nothing seems to be improving. Every time I eat even a small amount of food, I feel breathless for a while. Do you have any other suggestions or medicine I could try?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may need further evaluation to rule out other underlying causes of breathlessness, such as digestive issues or respiratory conditions. If the current medication hasn't worked, I suggest revisiting your doctor for a more comprehensive examination or testing. They may consider other treatments, including antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or even a respiratory check.

Question 2

I've been taking Rablet-D (Rabeprazole and Domperidone) for the past 20 years for severe burning and acidity after meals. However, I still have a bloating issue. Could it be related to a wheat allergy, or is there something else I should consider?
