A member asked:
How to know which kind of medication i should take for occasional stomach pain, an antacid like maalox or a anti-spasmodic like buscopan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stomach pain: First we should determine the cause of the stomach pain. Many patients have stomach pain because of diet related issues, others from inflammation, genetics, virus, bacteria, etc. Have you tried a no-gluten, very low carbohydrate diet before? If now, start this first. You may find you will no longer need meds. Do you smoke? Where do you work? Work with chemicals? Consult with us to help you better.
