A member asked:
Taking omeprazole-20 twice and magaldrate antacid but still have gas at midnight which awakes me.what can i add for midnight gas problem? pls. advise.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither are for gas: Both of the agents aim at ↓ing acid, omeprazole by ↓secretion from stomach parietal cells, magaldrate by neutralizing acid already secreted. Gas is mostly swallowed air; very little, if any, produced from digestion; some exceptions for bacteria in colon. Options: ↓ed swallowed air, avoid carbonated drinks, exercise/walk in evening, try simethicone, etc. Subconscious, dream activity a major issue.
