A member asked:
Can flatulence/gastric cause headaches? i get headaches often & painkillers alone don't work but gastric meds do mostly. i want a permanent cure tho.

Gastric reflux: Reflux of acid from your stomach can be a source of headaches. You answered your own question with your improvement with antacids. Tell your primary care doctor about this. He might prescribe stronger meds or refer you for diagnostic testing.
