Stomach gas

I would like to ask how long does it takes for stomach gas problem to heal. im having it for about a week. i have taken probiotics and anti acid medicines. Sometimes my stomach felt uncomfortable but once i released the gas it will feel way better. Why does this occur? Do i need endoscopy to check my stomach?

Hi, other than the gas do you have any other problems like diarrhea or constipation. Your symptoms could be due to gastroenteritis, which is infection of the intestines. Amoebiasis is another infection, which can cause similar symptoms. Other common causes are constipation and indigestion. Some inflammatory bowel diseases like diverticulitis and crohn’s disease can produce similar symptoms. Here the walls of the intestines are swollen. You will need to consult your primary care physician, who may run blood, urine and stool tests and may sometimes ask for an ultrasonography to detect the cause for your symptoms. Regards.
