Hi Doctor, I am having flatulence for 3 years, I had visited more than 6 doctors, and they thought I am affect with acid reflux, and prescribed for acid reflux. I continued for 3 years. After taking these medicine it's make me worse in the digestion and flatulence. Finally one doctor prescribed antibiotics with pro biotic rifaximin for 5 days. It's helped for 1 week relief. Again the symptoms started. How to improve my symptoms and digestion. I thought took acid blocker for long time, it's affected my acid production in my stomach. Low level acid for the reason for the symptoms developed severe.

Your history suggests IBS. Need diet and lifestyle changes. Medicines have very limited benefit.
