Whenever I take a deep breath or yawn, I feel a sharp pain in my stomach. On top of that, my stomach feels really bloated and hard. Could this be something serious or just digestive issues? What should I be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

Could be a sign of gas or indigestion. I recommend taking an antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg tablets to help with the bloating and indigestion. You can take 2 tablets as needed, up to four times a day. Additionally, you can try Simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg chewable tablets to help relieve gas.

These steps may help in the ailment:- Rest well- A liquid diet may be of help during this time period as it may be easier to digest a liquid diet, you can slowly increase to solid food depending on how you tolerate it.- Drink adequate amount of water, aim to rink 2.5 - 3 lietrs of water per day- Prunes or prune juice may serve as natural laxatives, which would help in easier bowel movements- Have a low-fat diet since fat slows down the passage of food through the intestine.- Eat low-bulk foods such as broths and low-fiber breads- Cooked vegetables, cooked fruits, and apples would help with an inflamed intestine- Avoid milk and milk products (yogurts and cheeses),nuts, corn, popcorn, and seeds which could worsen your illness
